Panel heaters in/storage heaters out

[rocker]

Haven't had the pleasure of working with panel heaters, are they relatively easy to install?

What I'm more concerned about is removing old storage heaters, is there anything tricky involved with this or do you just disconnect and whack them out? Any help would be appreciated.

Removing storage heaters is quite straightforward but a bit time consuming. Take off the front covers and sometimes the elements need to come out to remove the bricks before you try to take them off the wall, cos if you dont and it falls on you, you wont impress your local A&E and you wont be laughing about it down at the pub either. They weigh a ton with the bricks in especially if they are the old type. Even the modern ones are very heavy so just go carefully.

3.4kW Storage heater weighs about 130Kg when fully loaded.

Panel Heaters are straight forward.

Also beware of asbestos in some older models.
