I am losing the will to live. I have looked across the internet and found a lmost nothing expect the usual suspects over and again - all with their eco agendas.
The problem is simple ( or should be) a) I have a night storage heater on E7 that has given up the ghost. It need s replacing
That should be simple enough, I have done similar things before - get a new equivelent heater and OH connects it in to existing system
But b) it seems that the ruddy EU ( no the piss me off - it seems they brought this in but it was not widely advertised. if it had been I would have got n ew heaters all round last year. The new ones are almost three times as exp ensive and appear to need new wiring too.) They have changed the rules and now you have to get an eco friendly storage heater which sings and dances, costs twice as much and I dont think will run on my system but I cannot fi nd out
so c) Is it possible to get/ run one of these new LOT20 storage heaters on a night only supply? It seems they all seem to now need a duel supply -ie a s econd electric point to run some fan or other daytime..... I dont need tha t! Is it possible to connect them without conecting in the day time socket
- or can it be connected to a standard socket with plug so I can switch it off via the plug switch?
None of these things are being answered anywhere on the internet. They just keep pounding away with other things..... some of us use E7 because there is nothing else and we dont want LPG or oil.
Has anyone any experience of fitting and using one of these new fangled st orage heaters? There must be others out there with E7.
Further has anyone found a simple one that doesnt use a ruddy wi fi system and all singing and dancing "open window " detection to pump up the heat , even though you might have an open window because you want one?
I am currently looking at buying a second hand " refurbished" old version o n ebay. All I want is a simple night storage heater replacement for the b edroom.
I would be grateful for sensible replies. I am sure there will be some. I will ignore the trolls, thanks.
