How to operate Heatstore electric heater
 

I just moved into a flat and I can't find a way to switch on the heaters.
They are all Heatstore, one is bigger and it has a switch on the side, that one works. But the rest of them are a bit smaller and there is a switch only on the wall. I checked the fuses, I left them on all night but nothing.
Is there anyone who can help me with this?
Thanks.

Electric store heaters assume.
There will be an isolator with fuses/miniature circuit breakers and a
time switch for them somewhere. See if the number of fuses/MCBs
corresponds with the number of heaters and that they are OK/switched
on.

Hi

the heaters you describe are almost certainly storage heaters, ie they
store up heat in bricks using cheap(er) electricity at specific timed
intervals. The one that works will be a storage + convector. The
convector part will be on a 24 hr supply, this is the bit that is
working. Sounds like the storage supply is turned off or the timing
device is faulty. Look for another fuse box with the main switch
turned off.
Hard to be more specific as there are so many permutations of 'off
peak' supply.

A photo of you electrical "head end" (i.e. fuse, meter, consumer unit /
fuse box) posted somewhere with a link here would help.

Fuses in the FCU on the wall or fuses (MCBs) in the CU for the off peak
supply?

Check the time switch, ours doesn't run when there is a power cut so the
"off peak" period moves through the day depending on power cuts. Maybe
your "off peak" is also at an odd time. Whilst you are in the region of
the meter/timeswitch/CU's make sure the off peak one is actually switched
on and the associated fuses/MCBs also OK/on.

Thanks for reply! I checked all of them, all switched on, but no result.

Thanks for reply! Do you mean the fuse from the main fuse box? They're all ok, but are there anu other fuses somewhere?
