I recently got my flat rewired. It had old storage heaters and we plan on putting modern storage heaters in. The way the electrician did the rewiring means that there is only night time supply for the future heaters, although now I’m looking at buying heaters, I realise that all modern heaters...
Hi all, I have an Economy 7 storage heater Dimplex CXL24N - 3.4kW Storage Heater + Convector ( there not available anymore) that dos'nt work and needs replacing.
What can I replace it with and does it have to be another storage heater or is there other alternatives ?
Thanks
Been round to a house to quote to replace some storage heaters for new panel heaters and came across a strange (to me at least) way of wiring the old storage heaters via a contactor in the board, as usually I see their own off peak consumer unit which powers up at night via economy 7.
From the...
There was always talk of teleswitch transmitters being switched off. Does anyone know if that is a thing, or whether it’s been done?
I was at a local holiday cottage on Monday, owner said 2 out of 3 heaters weren’t working.
I found one burnt switch, which I replaced, but nothing wrong with...

Hi, I'm just a DIY're but I'm OK with basic electrics. Grateful if anyone could help me with the location of where the double resistor is wired to. I had to replace the control panel on the convector side of the heater and decided to also replace the elements as one had stopped working over...

I just wanted post this information for anyone that may come across these Storage Heaters as I have struggled to find any relevant information regarding asbestos and removal of the heaters
I contacted Creda directly to ask if these contain asbestos and confirm date of manufacture...
Hi,
My electrician removed an old Creda storage heater connected to only 1 off peak supply and installed the SSHE070 but as the power is off peak he cannot set it up.
He connected it up but it has not come on over the off peak period.
Has he missed something?
He asked me to contact Dimplex but...

Hi, I have a customer with a Storad SR140-3 storage heater (in the bathroom), which does not work. The resistance of the elements is ok. There does not appear to be any onboard controls but situated outside the bathroom door is the charge controller (I think). I have never seen one like this...

Hi.
I've been asked to install a Dimplex qm150 storage heater for a customer. There is a suitable existing supply for the off peak element.
Someone has installed a switched fused spur to supply the boost functionality. This has been taken from a nearby socket circuit.
However the property has...
Had a quantum (qm150) installed for 8 years - no problem.
Couple of weeks ago the switch (usually always on except when on holiday) stuck and no power to heater.
Had a look at switch and saw it was melted where the N wire goes in.
Bought an exact replacement (B+Q) and replaced myself with the...
Hi,
We have an old storage heater (FGS Storad COH 972A). Guess it's around 30 years old.

Stopped working last winter. I opened it up (after turning off the power!) and noticed one of the cables was burnt and snapped).
Also, noticed one of the...
