I currently live in a 100 year old ground floor flat that has old storage heaters. They were turned off all summer until about October and now in January they are not able to keep up with the freezing weather.
I know modern storage heaters allow the use of off-peak power and on-peak boost but I would like to know if it’s possible to do this with a standard storage heater and a wall switch of some kind so I can top up the heat to the bricks using full price electricity.
Ideally what I am looking for is a switch that takes two live wires, 1 from the off-peak and 1 from the normal circuit and 1 output to an appliance, the circuit would then be determined by that state of the switch. I have had a look about online for such a switch but can’t find anything.
Does such a thing exist?
Thanks
