Hello,
I recently bought a 1960s-built house.
It had an electric storage heater in it that I wanted to remove. A notice on the heater said to remove the bricks before undoing the wall mounts so I went about taking the bricks out. This was fine for the layer in front of the heating elements but...
I had a new storage heater fitted in the office but it's stopped working, Dimplex have been out and can't find a fault as they connected temporary supply and it started to get warm.
Is there a simple way of checking whether the night supply switches on?
Hi All,
I hope you are all enjoying your weekends!
Before I start, I just want to thank you for your help in advance…

To cut a long story short, the flat I moved into used...
Hi people of Earth!
After an element for the heater below. Looked inside and outside for more info and no joy. Googled the product code and found reference to Evsa, but that's about it. Rang one fella in the Midlands and he couldn't help either.
So, anyone familiar with this particular...
Hi there,
I was wondering if you might be able to help with a query. I've recently removed some storage heaters from my flat and am replacing them with electric panel heaters instead. The old storage were connected directly to individual spurs. Am I right in thinking that these spurs are on...
Hello all...

I have not installed any storage heaters before and wondered if...
Got to check the elements on an old Dimplex storage heater tomorrow, it must be around 3kW. Couldn't remember how to get into the older models! I know the newer ones have 2 retaining screws on the bottom edge to release the front panel, but this old beast does not have them. Any clues?
Hi quick question guys,
I was called out to a storage heater not working, turned out the thermal cut off had tripped, customer doesn't dry any clothes on it and I believe this to be true, I've had to return to it again, I've cleaned it out completely to make sure it wasn't a build up of dust...
Just looked at a domestic call out. Storage heaters have stopped working. Next to the consumer unit is a Horstmann 80A timer clock, you know the typical steam punk Bakelite. This looks burnt out. Any recommendations for a replacement. Not familiar with this type of circuit arrangement.

Hi all,
I am looking into the options for re-wirring an electric storage heater from its current location to the opposite wall of the room. A new oak floating floor is also being fitted in the room with an acoustic underlay. From what I understand to ensure there is no visible wiring, I have to...
