Basic storage heater

funnymonkey

Good evening.
Im looking for a basic economy 7 storage heater for my living room (one without a secondary boost function that requires additional wiring as my fuse box cant handle this.
Can anyone recommend anything please?
Thank you

There are loads on ebay, all sorts and sizes and prices.

Is i not possible to use a Dread TSRE but not wire up the day time fan ?

Have you got wiring there already?  If so, is it switched automatically by the meter?  

Or is it the total current draw on the fuseboard that is limiting?  In which case, how much current can the new stoage heater draw?

I don't really understand electrics but an old storage heater on economy 7 was removed so looking to replace like for like.

The storage heater you buy shouldn't use more power than the one that was there before, though your sparks will check that.  

 Dimplex or Creda should be safe bets for obtaining spare parts in future.

Creda and Dimplex are the same company nowadays.

You can consider having a switch with an LED. I found this very useful for indicating when the electricity was on the cheap rate. The timer is in your meter box and it will be set to slightly different times on each property.
