Heater For Attic

Zak Flaps

With another cold winter predicted,i'm looking to get a heater for the attic. (a pipe burst during last year's freeze at xmas). Can you recommend one? Maybe one that only comes on when the temperature drops below zero.
I don't know much about these things!!

Any help would be appreciated.

Zak.

i bought one today for work

500watt convector (model fsk-505) cost 30eurowholesale

haven't fitted any before


lagging and insulating should be a higher priority imo

i figure these may run continuously in a cold attic to little effect-could be wrong though

robus do a frost watcher unit with a built in stat, but ive read here before that wiring it to a propper frost stat is preferable to ensure the unit only switches on when nesecery. if it were me id fit a neon indicator on the landing to allow me to see when it is on, otherwise you have no way of knowing if its running up your elec bill.

what would be the point of a separate stat if purchasing a frostwatcher w/stat



although you would need separate stat for remote indication-

edit:ya remote indication is the way to go with these alright

something like a single mk grid plate with a 240v neon, plus im not 100% sure the stat on the frost watcher is adjustable so prob best to put a decent stat in to stop it comming on prematurely.

brooks are now selling a frost watcher for I think €34. Its a unit that you plug in and it kicks in when the temperature drops. Made specifically for attics

no connection

yeah, maybe that's something that would do the trick....
