Frequently Asked Questions
Can I plug a heater in instead?
Portable heaters work but wall-mounted ones are safer and more efficient. No trailing cables, better heat distribution, and they can't be knocked over. Worth the installation.
Do I need a dedicated circuit?
High-wattage heaters may need their own circuit to avoid overloading. We check your supply and advise. Standard panel heaters often work on existing sockets.
What about storage heaters?
Storage heaters need Economy 7 supply and specific wiring. More complex to install but cheaper to run if you have the right tariff. We can advise.
Can you move an existing heater?
Yes - we can relocate wall-mounted heaters if needed. Maybe furniture's changed or the current position doesn't work. We rewire to the new location.
