Storage heaters help new flat

A brick is a brick :

- each brick will hold 1.48kWh of cheap heat and depending on insulation will release it over the next 17 hours
- each of the (up to 4) vertical 850W elements sits in the gap between 4 of these bricks
- each brick is 230x190x50 - if you divide the total amount of heat you want by 1.48 you know how much stored heat you need
- a NSH tin comes in 4 varieties up to a 16 bricker 16 x 1.48kW = 23.8kWh of stored heat

Input is what you feel you need for the season / month of the year Output on mine is set to zero and has been since I first used them 3 dwellings and 40 years ago. You fill them with the cheap stuff and let radiation do its thing, output which is convection and not radiation is for ceilings and I'm one of those who's feet are on the floor not the ceiling. Best of luck.

Sorry didnt only just seen these replies. Thanks very much. I will check the MSE link for storage heaters. I dont think we will have the output set too high even in winter as we can stand it too warm. Thanks again for replies. :-)

If you don't like it hot, you keep the input down, and save ££

The output should always be down. Don't touch it unless you need a boost.
