Storage heater Switch

[MasterAbacus]

Hi guys,

Just looking at replacing a night storage heater switch, the current one is an unfused one, and would idially like to be fitted with a fused unit, and maybe one with a LED indicator to monitor visualy when Mains power is live to the unit.

Anyone recommend what to use?

Hope all is well on here, dont get on as much as i used to

i believe they are 1700 W so you can use a switched fused spur with neon.

Or an unfused double pole switch, with a neon. Like this: here you go

Not sure why you'd want the neon though - unless you need something for your insomnia...?

Thanks guys... The Neon is just for indication as to when power is live to the heater, as im not so sure these things are actually charging at off peak times, and just randomly charge up.

The system at my fiancees mums is electric storage heaters, and it has the night time offpeak, plus a number of "boosts" thruought the day where it does some more heating but still on the cheap tariff...
