I hate storage heaters

Brilliant video. I have 4 of these to remove!

I have a storage heater in the lounge do I have to take it all part.because I want to wall paper the lounge.but the way love the video very helpful.

Good afternoon, fantastic video. I am just about to buy a house (built in the 80s) that has four of these style heaters throughout and I'd like to remove them and replace them with the Haverland RC Wave units. I was just wondering what you would need to do with the cables coming from the wall after removing the old units, as the new Haverland units only require a local plug socket? Kindest regards. Sam

A sparky removed my heater so tradesmen could install flooring. He leaned it against the wall but didn’t remove the bricks. It slipped on to the floor as I tried to shift it and it weighs a ton. Impossible to move.

Hi there, In regards to the wiring, if you want to convert the socket into a regular plug socket after is there anything fancy you need to do? I read that the wiring needs to be reconfigured as storage heaters are connected to off/on-peak circuits? Is this something that can be done by yourself or do you have to contact your supplier? please advise and thanks!

I don’t want to remove it, but to lift it, to place flooring underneath (after pulling the previous flooring out from under it). So, I want to take the bricks out, then put them back in). So, do I need to disconnect the electricity at the wall, or is it enough to turn off the mains electricity for the whole house?

I recently moved into a new apartment with Creda storage heaters. There are 2 in the living room. I dont need 2 as its not a huge space and 1 heater does the job well enough. Also, one of them doesnt seem to work. This is OK by me as i want to remove that one anyway, its an eye sore and takes up a decent chunk of important wall space. Do I just get someone to remove the storage heater and cut off the supply? The flat was built after 1999 so im assuming asbestos isnt an issue. How much does that job cost and is there anything else that needs doing?

Love my storage heaters. No coming into a cold flat.

The video was very poorly lit but the commentary was very helpful. Ta.

Which model is this thanks

I think I have the same model as you as it looks the same - do you know where the model number is? Did you consider if they was any asbestos in the heater?

This is me with new build flat - no one told me there were bricks in them haha - took down 3 flights of stairs, then I learnt. Had meter changed as standard electric was (way back) far cheaper if you are out all day. Heat all gone by evening when I wasnt even in.

Hi I can't see how you disconnect he cord the from the wall. Can you explain?

Hi there, great video. How much do you charge for this service?

About 2 hours work .BUT .you have to tell customers that it’s usually left with two holes in the floor where the legs have been and filling and painting to wall plus old radiator taken to the tip.

can you remove from wall without taking bricks out ?

Old type remove ,they stopped putting asbestos in them in 1973 ..but would you take a chance after seeing all the flats now thar are supposed to be fireproof are not..Manchester man...thank you.

You forgot to tell the D.I.Y. audience to wear sunglasses and a pair of Marigolds.
