Fit a heater to a redundant immersion heater cable ?

[bourne37]

Will shortly be having fitted a combi boiler, and therefore the immersion heater will be removed.

It is fed from a switched fused with a flex outlet.

Can the immersion be cut off and an oil filled radiator attached?

Any comments would be appreciated.

I am curious though..why would you want to fit an Oil filled Rad if you have a combi, so you obviously have central heating...

i have an oil filled rad in my bedroom, the radiator simply isnt big enough in there in the coldest of winter months.

maybe in this case, the radiator is for inside the airing cupboard, to dry towels etc.

Thanks for the replies.

Yes, it would be for occasional heating in the airing cupboard.

ban-all-sheds,

Thanks for the reply. I was considering similar units, but not aware of such an slim unit.

They are horrible - they do give more heat than you would think, but the build quality sucks, and they really are primative.

They are ceramic tiles, spaced from the wall with a ceramin washer. Easily broken.

Thanks for the reply.

I will bear it in mind.

The ones I've got are not ceramic tiles, and the spacers are not ceramic either....
