Electric storage heaters

[confussed]

Can anyone help, we have just moved into a new house, there are 8 storage heaters already installed, 4 run off a 60amp consumer unit (4 wired 15amp fuse)the other 4 run of a MCB 60amp consumer unit 4x16amp.all run on economy 7.I want to add 2 more heaters, should I replace the old 4 way wired fused unit, with a 6 way MCB unit, and would 80amp be OK?

what rating are the storage heaters? do they share a service fuse with the rest of your system and what rating is the service fuse?

SERVICE FUSE IS THE dno's fuse where their cable enters your house. form there id imagine it splits, 1 goes to the meter for your normal electric usage and another will go to another meter, the economy 7 meter
