At the moment I'm expecting the size of the desktop (darts board generated) quote from Scottish Power to upgrade the supply will come as a surprise and may lead to a reassessment of options.That would be something to raise - if they won't allow reinstatement of radiators, how on earth are you going to get permissions for all those radiant heaters ?
Went to investigate and found no less than SIX electric kettles, all used simultaneously and plugged into three 2G sockets, along with a microwave and a small table top oven - all on a 20A MCB. I split the circuit and installed a second 20A feed to half of the sockets, along with a bit of advice on loading.
Given that the heater pictured is designed to heat people using the infra red light spectrum and not the space around them it cannot be controlled via a thermostat
Fitted quite a lot of these back in the late 80's and early 90's mainly in commercial and industrial buildings with some success especially when controlled with PIR / microwave movement detectors and staff / people are moving around, as mentioned
When your sat down in an area and it is difficult to move around you can end up overheating / irritating people
Another thought would be how they may affect any photography or video during weddings or other special occassions given the operating light spectrum of these heaters
Heating churches is always a difficult one especially given the high / vaulted ceilings I have often thought that pasteurisation fans would help push some of the lost heat down but they may not fit in with the character and architecture of the church
They are currently running a giant diesel heater!Get a pellet stove that will do the trick.
A church I do work for ended up using one of those, trouble was it was noisy when running and went cold as soon as it turned off, also a few of the elderly parishioners started to complain about feeling dizzy, so that got switched off. They finally got two new boilers installed and went back to gas.They are currently running a giant diesel heater!
