Hi
I have a customer who lives on the 2nd floor in an upmarket flat in Cambridge. She used to have some kind of hot air vented system for her heating which has now been removed.
She would like to have 2 x decent sized storage heaters fitted with 2 or 3 panel heaters as a top up. At the moment she just has a ample sized consumer unit to run her everyday electrics and no CU or meter for cheap tarrif economy 7 or 10.
The CU is obviously in the flat, but the meter is on the bottom floor in a communial area approx 15 to 20 mtrs away, which would make putting new tails for a CU a huge pain.
Seeing as there are only 2 x storage heaters I was wondering if it was feasible to stick the two new storage heater circuits on the existing CU and get her supplier to change the tarrif(and meter) so the heaters can be heated with off peak cheap power(along with all the other circuits)... BUT!
1. For a start is this possible?
2. And if it is, does anyone have any ideas what I could do for timers, I have a few thoughts but would be inerested in anyones elses, I obviously do not want her heaters running on peak time power by mistake.
Thanks GG
