[QUOTE="Ardet R, post: 470132, member: 30040"] A quick amps vs kW comparison [ATTACH]9525._xfImport[/ATTACH] If you are using the heaters for an 8 Hour period even though the heaters will be turning on and off by thermostats, then you will be limited during that time in what other items you can use, e.g. starting your electric shower, oven, hob, possibly even the kettle, might blow the main fuse, this would leave you without power for a considerable period and would be a chargeable call out from your supply company to replace the fuse. It is best to remain well within the limit of your supply fuse, even though they are fairly hardy. If nothing else you will be amazed at the size of your electricity bill when it comes and will need to drink the gin to calm down. An electrician could asses the likely load currently on your house and be able to advise on the sensible level of power consumption. [/QUOTE]
