Hello everyone,
This is my first post.
We have just bought a new flat, which was built in the 60s. It has some really old brown Dimplex Storage Heater units (probably made in the 80s, if not even earlier), which we would want to replace. There is also what appears to be a bimetallic thermostat mounted on a wall in the hall way.
The Dimplex units have "input" and "boost" controls. I understand the input controls the temperature to which the bricks will be heated up, i.e. the amount of heat to be stored during the night; and boost controls how fast the stored heat is released into the room. This leaves the thermostat appear a little out of place. Do you guys know what does it control? Does it control the input or the boost/output?
We want to replace these old units with new ones, do you think that thermostat can be made to have any use at all, or should we just remove it all together?
Thank you very much in advance!
