Hi folks,
Having issues with Storage heaters in the birds flat which has been empty for a while but recently she has had a pal staying there till he gets set up with another place.
He says Storage heaters are not working. Having never had anything to do with leccy heating and also never having lived there I'm not sure whats going on.
What time is the power supposed to be on to them? I though it was late night but I went round 3pm today for a look and the wall isolators were lit and one of them had a tiny amount of heat coming from it.....nothing that was going to prove useful though. Another day i was there at midday and there was no power at isolators or seemingly from the E7 meter in the cupboard outside. If it's on in the afternoon does this suggest she has E10? Even with the power being on there doesnt seem to be a great deal of heat coming out of them.
Apart from that storage heaters are crap anyway so I was considering replacing them with something a bit more 21st century. Whats the thoughts on some of these heaters that work on the normal tariff and give heat more instantly? Obviously the CU would need to be rewired and the E7 meter tails removed or made safe.
Hopefully theres pics attached of what I have.
