[QUOTE="roys, post: 490987, member: 5044"] Don’t worry about the voltage worry about the electric bill, say a unit of electricity is 15p then that would equate to: 15x15=£2.25 per hour which is £54 per 24 hour period, which is £378 per week. You are surely not seriously considering running a heater like that. i would have thought thought some tubular heaters at 60W per foot placed near vulnerable freezing areas would be more suitable. I do this on a property with a 6ft tube heater and a 2 foot tube heater and 5 meters of trace heating tape, works a treat, touch wood. Wait a minute, just reread, is this property occupied or unoccupied? If occupied get a log burner and maybe an oil central heating system [/QUOTE]
