Heater For Van

Why dont you just buy a immersion heater cheap as chips you can have hot water any day you want great for first cleans any time of the year and you have also got a nice warm van in the winter as it acts like a radiator

cheap to buy not to run!

when one is fitted to the tanks inthe house they cost about £6 a week on a small amount of water, to heat up a 250lt tank will cost a lot.

the heater that im testing out at the minute will cost about £1.30 a week if it is left pluged in and running 24/7!

 
most immersion heaters run at 3kw. so in an hour it will use 3kw of electricity. so an average of 10p per kw. so 30p an hour.

the heater that im testing at the minute has been pluged in and been working for just over 3 hours and on the meter it hasnt even used 0.1kw yet!!!

What about your other appliances wont that effect the out come of the experiment?

 
it like this

it tells me how much power the heater has used, how much amp it drawing etc.

so far heater has been on for 7 hours now and only used 0.2kw.

 
Every way lol, h&s, metering ur lecy on each item etc and just little things I pick up here n there.

It's a good think, dw lol
h&s is because im trained in it so just sharing what i have picked up.

im only metering the electric on this just to find the best heater and the cheapest running cost there is over winter. last thing you want to do is pay out loads of money when you dont have to.

as braniac says, ' we do the experiments so you dont have to' lol

 
You are such an anorak! /emoticons/smile.png

Are you going to tell us what this heater is? If it blasts enough heat out I might buy a bunch for the house at those readings, but don't doubt I'm missing something....
