    Kiran,
    Easier to wire the heater separately and run it down to a separate switch inside the living space (usually inside a cupboard), then you just switch it on and off when you want it too,
    even easier than that just set the thermostat so that the heater only comes on when its particularly cold.
    :o)
    Good luck

    The advice I give on here is based on my many years in the preservation industry. I choose to remain anonymous, I have no desire to get work from anyone. No one can give 100% accurate advice on a forum if I get it wrong you'll get a sincere apology and that's all:D

    Quick question regarding the heated model, can the heating supply be controlled by a seperate 3 pin plug? If so this could be wired to a wifi timer socket that would allow heating when you were likely to want it e.g. in the evenings but also allow you to boost it on the overide.

    Does this sound plausable as the only negative I can see at the moment is the cooler air which could be sorted via the preheat.

    Thanks

    That's exactly how mine is connected and I control it from my phone. I have diff times for each day of the week depending on who is up earliest etc. plus means only I can control it so no risk of it being left on etc. I'm using an orvibo wifi plug. Best solution.

    The heater if you don't use a timer plug will run all the time in winter as the recccomended thermostat setting is 10c and mine is set for 14c so whenever loft is at that temp or below the heater will run hence why I have a wifi plug which turns it on for me at set times during the day. This is easier than going to a cupboard and turning it on/off etc.

    Just ensure you have the fan running all the time as if it's off warm moist air will rise up into the tje fan and condense on the cold surfaces which will cause damage to the motor and electronics.

  • Hi all,

    after trolling through numerous pages, seems I have stumbled upon a solution that might work. My question is how easy is it to self install? I mean is there like a guide provided by the manufacturer or do we have to get it "professionally" installed by an electrician? If so how much will that cost?

    thanks
  • You need an electrician to wire it in unless you have a plug socket in your loft. You could fit the rest of it yourself if you any good at diy. Just a hole in your landing ceiling and then the unit suspending from the rafters.

    Yes we have a plug socket in our loft indeed, so that solves that one :)

    As about the hole, what specialist tools does that require?

    A hole cutter tool or hacksaw.

    I fitted one a couple of months ago.

    It was quite easy and there are plenty threads and links here if you need help.I bought this to cut the ceiling http://www.screwfix.com/p/drywall-saw-6tpi-6/38939

    There are a few different models so you need to find out which one is best for you. I got the Drimaster 2000 .I found no use for the Remote Sensor so I did not fit it.

    The upstairs condensation has almost gone since fitting it but I am still having problems downstairs.

    I am pleased I fitted it but it is not a cure all. You need to complement it with good ventilation and fans in the bathroom and kitchen.
