    Creda Storage Heaters - Accelerator Resistor

    Hi all, I have a pair of storage heaters that my electrician is trying to repair and is having no luck. They work but do not produce enough heater.

    Creda Storage Heaters

    Hi, thanks for your help. There is no afternoon boost. It is 100% an economy seven meter. The economy seven period is between 00:30 am and 07:30 am. The heaters seem to stop charging midway through the night. The economy 7 meter is new and working. The heaters have new elements and thermostats...

    Creda Storage Heaters - Not Enough

    Thank you both for your feedback, much appreciated. The heaters have an even spread of heat across them but they are just not storing enough heat, I can't work out why. The elements have been tested and are ok and when the electrician ran the heaters off the mains for about 4 hours, the cover...
