Sparking Heaters

Paulmcfadyen · 9 Jan 2005

I have a 2.25 kW storage heater and a 1 kW bedroom panel heater. I have noticed that both seem to generate considerable sparks within the casings, but visible at night through the vents, when the thermostats switch the elements on. Do I have anything to worry about?

Thanks in anticipation of your advice...
