Storage heater replacement and electric heating circuits
Storage heater replacement and electric heating circuits across South Wales. Off-peak wiring checked, modern controls fitted, everything tested and certified.
Properties without gas rely heavily on electric heating, and the wiring behind it is often the oldest part of the installation. Old off-peak circuits, redundant time switches and heaters wired through fused spurs that no longer meet the load are all common finds.
We replace heaters, check and correct the off-peak arrangement, and make sure each heater sits on a circuit that suits its rating.
- Existing off-peak and time-switch arrangement assessed
- Correct circuit and isolation for each heater
- Modern high-retention heaters with usable controls
- Tested, labelled and certified on completion
Off-peak wiring and metering
Older properties often still have a separate off-peak supply and contactor arrangement, sometimes only partly connected after previous work. We trace what is actually live on which tariff before quoting new heaters.
Choosing between heater types
High-retention storage heaters make sense where an off-peak tariff exists. Panel heaters with accurate thermostats suit rooms used occasionally. Neither is universally better, and the tariff is usually the deciding factor.
Board capacity
Several new heaters can push an older board past what it can sensibly protect. If a board upgrade is needed we include it in the quote rather than discovering it mid-install.
Common questions
Can new heaters go on the existing circuits?
Often, if the ratings match. We check each circuit against the heater it will feed.
Do I need to keep my off-peak tariff?
That's your call, but high-retention storage heating only makes financial sense with one.
Can you remove old heaters?
Yes — removal and disposal is quoted with the replacement.
