1kW radiant bar heater!!

i personally would do away with it them things not save in the best of places in my mind ne-mind in a bathroom

 

Is it ok to reuse the above when doing a rewire??
It's in a bathrom BTW.



Get rid of, fit a double insulated wall fan heater instead..

 

Would do that, but customer want's to keep and save
themselves all of £35...some people,,what do you do!!


Remind him of the 'Goldfinger' movie..

 

Thinking about it I might change it FOC (wink-wink)
if they allow me to us this job for my DI assesment!!


Invisible costs..

 

Already factored into the price for the rewire
but they don't want it changed..


Get BAS round there, he'll read them the riot act..


:^O

 

Old radiant wall heaters..

Some people want a demonstration of how bad them things were/are (throw the remains of the tooothbrush mug water at it and watch...!)

 

throw the remains of the tooothbrush mug water at it and watch...!

From how far back shall we watch

 

Extra info:---

It's in zone 3 (possibly out of zones??)
It has no IP rating (open element behind grille)
It must have been designed for use in that zone (all
be it 20 odd years ago)
Assuming all supplemental bonding is correct

It may well be 20 years old but exactly the same product is available today .
Dimplex for example describe them as
infra red wall heaters are a safe practical source of heat in bathrooms ,kitchens,work areas
If they are not within reach then I agree and better in a relaxing bath than a burring fan heater

 

Hi, there is one issue which has been overlooked, yes, similar heaters are available such as one post said ie dimplex. There is a difference, dont know exactly when the reg came out but it is to do with the protecting grill. The old ones were spaced apart, the new grills are more protected. Hope this helps.
