storage heater installation question

bobdole968

iam building a garage 60m2 and bought a storage heater 3.4kw/24kwh storage and 2kw convector dimplex.
just wondering whats the best way to wire it
will 2.5 cable be enough
does it need 2 supplies i haven't opened it yet but is the storage and convector separate.
putting new meter in just wondering should i go for the night saver meter.
i heard its around 300 euro extra to install. is it necessary? will i save more over time using the 2 meter setup rather than a standard meter rm257.

if you get nightsaver you'll need only 1 sub-main for the garage

you can 'sync' the storage with the off-peak period using a timer

and fit a programmable stat/contactor for the convector

2 20amp radial circuits from the garage sub-board


that's the 'simplest' way of wiring it anyhow -but not the only way

Definitely the best way to do it exactly like that especially if you then use stuff at night in the main house instead of during the day, immersion heater, washing machine etc.
