electric heaters

[Rockomuir]

Evening Ladies and Gents,

Just after some advice on some electric heaters as i am used to using gas. Customer wants to install 3 1000w panel heaters and 1 750w towel rail. Any fixed aplliance over 2kw must be on its own circuit. If they are put on two seprate radials with with two heaters on each, would that be best practice. Secondly he wants to install an instanteous undersink heater which is 3kw. That to would be on its designated circuit.

Thanks

I'd put each on a radial. Did a couple of 1800 watt kick space heaters a bit ago and put them on their own radials.

Each on a radial too, makes it a bit more future proof should they decide to up the wattage or go E7....

Agree with the two previous posts!

As Graeme says, got to make it future proof to some degree for your own piece of mind.

That is what i thought you would say and i totally understand. The clients wish list includes Electric shower,single oven,induction hob,immersion heater,4 heaters,2 rings, lights and a smoke. Would you recommend putting the heaters on a seperate board

It may be an idea to do so with the immersion and shower , the client may get a cheap heating rate depending on his supplier ,

I would be putting the heating and immersion heater on a separate board and eact cct radial to one point, and advising the client to look at some of the economy tarrifs available.
