heating.

The ESWA panels are apparently rather like the electirc heating elements in
a car windscreen,
and are mounted above the ceiling. Anyway, a few of them have failed. The
house was originally
built in 1973. The vendor told me that the panels have an expected life-time
of about 25 years.

I had never heard of this heating system before. Anyway, my questions are :-

1. Does anyone know where I can purchase replacements for these? I did a web
search,
and the only hits were in New Zealand, Canada and one in South Africa
(none in Scandanavia).

2. Likely cost of replacements?

3. Any opinions/experience on these panels to share?

Thanks very much

I wish I knew the answer to this also. We have had it since 1968 and LOVE it! So easy and so warm! No vents, no ductwork, and the warmth feels like the sun shining on you, very cozy. However, a panel has gone out in the bath and we would love to have it repaired/replaced.

If you want to find a replacement panel for your system, make a fresh
post.

Yes I was just wondering about that. Seems to be a bit of a time warp.

Quite! Lots of people complaining about paying 20p/litre for heating oil...

Well, his mention of 'heating ducts and vents' told me he was a merkin,
can't believe they still think hot air is the best way to heat a home
nowadays, especially when you see the state most of the humidifiers that are
part of the system to try and stop it drying the house out too much, amazed
legionaries disease isnt more common over there.
