Our bedroom gets very cold at night, due to having unheated spaces on 5 of it's 6 sides, despite double glazing, cavity wall insulation, loft insulation and insulation in the floor. I don't want to run the central heating all night, partly because it's wasteful to heat the whole house for one room and partly because it was installed by an imbecile and it clanks and clonks as it heats up and cools down and keeps us awake. I'm already wearing a tracksuit under a 13.5tog quilt, so more bedding isn't really an option.
So ... I bought a Dimplex 2kW convector heater to have on at night, thinking it would be relatively silent. Wrong. The thermostat in it reminds me of the Rank Organisation's gong in the credits of their movies. So, we're lying there wide awake (nice and warm, mind) listening to this thing going *TICK*, long pause, *TOCK*, long pause,
*TICK*, long pause, *TOCK*, long pause, *TICK*, long pause, *TOCK*, long pause, *TICK*, long pause, *TOCK*, long pause, *TICK*, long pause, *TOCK*, long pause, *TICK*, long pause, *TOCK*, long pause, *TICK*, long pause, *TOCK*, long pause, *TICK*, long pause, *TOCK*, long pause, *TICK*, long pause, *TOCK*, long pause, *TICK*, long pause, *TOCK*, long pause, *TICK*, long pause, *TOCK*, long pause, *TICK*, long pause, *TOCK*, long pause, *TICK*, long pause, *TOCK*, long pause, *TICK*, like a bloody deranged slow-motion grandfather clock.So, does anyone know of a plug-in thermostat that will switch 2kW, but above all must be silent. TLC have this one;
