Replacing storage heater

[codger]

Good morning chaps. Needing some guidance if poss. Looking to replace an existing storage heater in a living room with a panel heater, but looking for something which will give max heat but with max efficiency too. The room is 5m x 5m x 2.5m. Thinking 2.5/3kW possibly, or equivalent.
Can anyone recommend one please...? Thanks in advance.

Hi,i take it you are swapping the heating arrangements from RHT to standard?

Have you had fixed all those other problems you've previously reported on this forum?

Sorry Midwest. Bit confused with your reply.

Yes. Going to change the supply from timed to 24hr. Looking for a panel heater, or similar, that would be as economical as possible.

I'm about 5' 10'', brown hair, brown eyes.....Virgo. What other information do you need...?

When consulting on heating the size of the room is helpful, but the type of property, approx age of property? type of roof?, number of outside walls? are important to know

Id take a stab with a 1.25kw and if its not big enough buy a 1.5kw and put the other in another room later on. Are you intrested in any particular make/model?

That's a very brave suggestion - especially as the room is about 16' x 16'

Just a suggestion

Apologies, I may have confused you with someone else

Murdoch, sorry. Was just having a laugh. The room is 5m x 5m. Usual height (2.4m?). The flat is at the top of a block of flats, flat roof, 3 outside walls. Concrete floor with a floating floor on the top.
I saw a formula on one site which said to take the floor area and multiply it by 10 to give you an ideal wattage of heater. This would make it 250W. Clearly, that's wrong.
There is currently one 13A spur there with a timed supply which it's intended, will be changed to a 24hr supply.
