Switch for Storage Heaters

The same rating as you have currently...
Ok - but the switches are old and have no markings. How do I tell?
Can you take some pictures and post them here?
what is a poper switch?sorry typo!
Power Switch. It's connected to the economy 7 mains with 15A fuses on the consumer board. Looking in B&Q i see that there are several different types of switches. I just want a more modern one.
I see there 10A, 20A and higher rated. I am assuming that 20A would be sufficient and there is no no need for a seperate fuse on the swtich?

Great - thankyou
the OP says he currently has 15amp so why are you recommending 20amp?Adam_151 said:
what input are the heaters?
The fuse is 15A
You can't get 15A switches.
You could choose between 10A or 20A, and you wouldn't want an under rated switch now would you?
