Hi,
I have a set of storage heaters using an economy seven style time clock . This clock is in the attic and if there is a power cut or the lights have to be switched off this clock stops. I then have to crawl into the space where the roof slopes down and reset the time. We wish to get rid of this storage heater system and go to electric panel radiators with thermostat and timers.
I want to use the storage heater wiring for the panel heaters by swapping the fused spur outlets for 13amp sockets. I also want to take the clock away. If I get the two cables that the clock connects together and permanently join them together in a sealed box to make a permanent connection, (These cable appear to go to the fuse box in a ground floor bedroom) Then disconnect the clock from the wiring circuit and make safe the cable from the light circuit. (to be probably be used for an additional light at a later date.)
All the work would be done by a qualified electrician.
Do the forum members think that this idea is feasible and safe and complies with all the relevant rules etc.
To make matters a little bit more difficult my bungalow is of a wooden style, it is not wood clad the whole building is wood and all internal walls are partition walls of soft-board. It is very warm in winter and cool in summer but it creaks when the wood expand and contracts with the weather and it can be unnerving to visitors.
