We had a call from a customer in Purfleet, Essex who had been having trouble with the heating within their flat since they moved into the property.
A site visit was arranged and when we viewed the property it was apparent the heating was not up to the required specification.
The flat was wired for off-peak storage heaters for the Lounge and Hall but these had been removed by the previous owners. The only heater in both of these areas was a garden infrared bar fire that the previous owner had installed in the Lounge. Each bedroom has an undersized panel heater located close to the doorways, preventing the correct heat airflow within the rooms.
A survey of the flat for heat loss and relevant calculations were carried out so we could confidently choose the correct sized heaters that were required. It was agreed that it would be beneficial to utilise the already installed off-peak electrical circuits for the lounge and hall.
Dimplex Quantum Storage heaters were chosen for the lounge and hall, and Dimplex QRad radiators were chosen as the replacements of the panel heaters to both bedrooms.
With the work areas protected we got to work removing the old heaters.
The Dimplex Quantum storage heaters were installed in the Lounge and Hall and these were connected to the existing off-peak supplies.
It was agreed that the Dimplex QRad radiators would be better located beneath the windows.
So the old heater locations were blanked off. The Dimplex QRad radiators were installed beneath the windows and along with new electric circuits.
With the installation now complete, all materials and tools were tidied away and the heaters were programmed to the customers’ time and temperature requirements.
The customer now has a functioning modern electric heating system keeping them ‘Warm and Cosy’.
