*IF* it's sitting just under the overtemp stat trip level (98 DegC or
so you said) from cold up to the required (main stat) temperature then
that *is* a more effective solution at heating the lab and allowing
you to have more heaters on at the same time, than trying to run them
at 2kW (more heaters drawing less power and at a higher temperature
more consistently).

They must have heard you.

In an email today after we complained that at midday it was still only 14C.
They have said I thought the labs times had changed to 3pm so you could heat up the lab.
It's 2:30pm now and the lab has just reached 15C, this is with 5 2KW heaters and 3 or 4 1,5KW heaters, so maybe they read your email as they have just given us 2 new 1.5KW heaters.

if I die from heat exaustion before 5pm I'm sueing you !

Aren't there laws about workplace minimum temperatures? Offices, Shops and
Railway Premises Act?
