DIMPLEX XLS Wattage ?
- Thread starter pidgeon1

It will however need a permanent supply, as well as the off-peak one. New rules, heaters must have timer control now.
They are however much better, they retain the heat way longer so less gets wasted from leaking out.
Would the XLEO 70 be a direct replacement using the same permanent wiring in the wall ??
E.G. would it be mater of refitting old heaters refit new to same wiring ?
No, it would need a 24hr supply, too. If there is a normal socket close by, it could be connected to that.
The wiring in the wall currently isn't permanent, it comes on for 7 hours at night, probably
However the existing circuit can be altered to 24hr as the current NSHs will happily work on single supply.
Yes it can, but then there will be no off-peak rate. That defeats the point of a NSH doesn't it?
Where the OP is talking about replacing with a new NSH, what the old one does isn't important? Unless I'm missing something....?
Unless there is still a totally separate meter for the off peak rate (white? meter) the whole installation changes to cheap rate overnight and modern NSHs are easily programmed to charge during that time.
What would the maximum wattage of all three new heaters this fuse board can safely take, pic attached

3.6KW each assuming the feed is capable of 48A.
Just be a little aware when investigating these NSH. The listed wattage on websites will be the output wattage - so the XLEO 70 is listed at 700W, when the input wattage is 1560W - This is of course how NSH work!
Yes indeed but the input power is fairly prominant in the spec, example:Just be a little aware when investigating these NSH. The listed wattage on websites will be the output wattage - so the XLEO 70 is listed at 700W, when the input wattage is 1560W - This is of course how NSH work!
I think it's one of those things that I notice more, as I am mostly browsing this site on my mobile.
Mobile sites have a tendancy to hide things behind drop down buttons - sometimes pertinent facts aren't always immediately visible!
Ah yes that old chestnut, the main reason I stay with a pc.I think it's one of those things that I notice more, as I am mostly browsing this site on my mobile.
