Rointe Advice

akwoody2 · Nov 28, 2015

Hi Chaps,

Im after some advice with regards to Rointe heaters. A customer of mine wants to change her night storage heaters for Rointe heaters. Her night storage heaters are currently on an off peak supply. Am i right in saying they are just electric heaters and don't store any heat? Therefor ill need to convert the circuits?

Thanks

Iv not looked into any efficiency information as of yet, the customer has seen them and wants them. Thanks for your advice on the off peak question.

Don't. If you do, find out when the date of her next electricity bill is and make sure you have moved and changed your phone number before this date.

Dimplex are the most common, they've been building the exact same heaters for at least 60 years and most of them are still working.
Occasionally see creda ones too

Basically:

NSH much better...heats some bricks....bricks radiate it. No slick marketing proclaiming this and that.

Just read on Rointes website that some of there rads have 'fuzzy logic energy control'. I would just call it fuzzy logic myself!

Just read the op again, there are nsh fitted already so the best thing they can do is give them a good clean inside and out and carry on with them.
And old box of bricks is just as good as a new one!

Exactly Dave! Only issue may be if they need heat late at night and the bricks have gone a bit cold. Suppose they could turn input to full and output to low until they need heat.
