I am looking to remove a storage heater, can anyone tell me when you
disconnect the cable to remove the heater do you have to reconnect the
cable to the socket. I have other storage heaters so still need the
economy 7. I just want to remove one heater


Switch off circuit. Open faceplate of unwanted heater. Disconnect cable
to heater. Replace faceplate. Switch circuit back on. Remover unwanted
heater.


Shouldn't you remove the cable at the spur box end in the wall?

Beware of asbestos in the old heater, and any dust within
the heater should be damped down, vaccuumed out with a
*bagged* cleaner and the bag carefully sealed and binned.


I thought storage heaters just had bricks to store the heat. They don't
get all that hot.


Because they have some form of insulation.
