Hi Guys.
Main heating in a new build bungalow is 3 storage+convector heaters and 2 convector heaters. I haven't installed storage heaters before.
I understand that if a fixed heater is rated more than 2Kw, you should put it on a seperate radial circuit (can someone tell me where I've read that?).
The storage heaters are 2.55Kw and 2 at 1.7Kw which could all be supplied on 2 off 20Amp radials to the Offpeak board.
The convectors are 6.25Kw (27 Amps) in total, which could all be wired into their own 32Amp ring to the normal board.
Is this bad practice? Are they all normally on their own radials? If so, would it be acceptable to provide 3 radials for the storage sections but still keep the convectors on their own ring?
Cheers!
