I still think if all you need is 1 to 2 hours heat a night in a small bedroom with the possibility of selling the flat in the not too distant future, then you should go down the low cost route of a half decent panel heater. Why over complicate it with wi-fi hubs and all the bells and whistles?

Making use of Dimplex Hub and finding Mob App schedules very useful.
It's been amazing switching from Lending boards to Energy and Improvements.
I have never really exceeded +1 hour in bedroom, though I'll appreciate Dimplex Panel heater especially in Winter months.

thanks

100% finally switched CC ideas to Improvements.
It's working well, though getting more difficult whilst working PT hours.
Whilst I can place order for Monterey I'll wait until maybe late Aug/early Sept though temptation is Max, I'm feeling serious Heat even from 17c in living room for set hours, it's luxury though OTT for summer months.
It's the 'Heating up whole Room effect' that's greatest 'feature'

thanks

Don't boo your electrician unless you're staging a panto!

As for rabbits, I think they're red-green colour blind which means they don't make very good electricians.

Electrician booked.
Task Rabbits Comms are impressive, their rapid Task work is of the Highest Standards.

thanks, hopefully dropping to 750w isn't too much of Heat loss, in time for next Autumn/Winter.

Dimplex Alta 750w, hopefully installed next week, maybe I can make similar choice in Kitchen heater which isn't used.

To avoid DQ L/R heater experience of incorrect 13a Fuse being temp used, which was then corrected.
Is it possible to Advise which Amp of Fuse for today's Dimplex Alta 750w.
ref

The supply must be connected via a switched fused spur with

a fuse rated suitably for the appliances flex. Failure to follow these instructions will

mean that the manufacturer’s instructions have not been adhered to.

THERE ARE NO EXCEPTIONS.

Though this Bedroom heater doesn't need 2 supply only one Live Supply/

What size is the flex? If it's 1.5sq.mm or 1.25sq.mm then 13A would be OK.
