Does a portable electric heater without a thermostat exist?
london8 replied to london8's topic in Other Heating Systems
P.S.: Multiple heaters do not solve the problem of sudden temperature changes caused by the thermostat's primitive on-and-off heating style. Using multiple heaters in a room would only mitigate the problem, as it is not possible to ensure that all of them will remain constantly on.. P.S.: This happens in any room in any house with any heater that has a thermostat, more or less. I cannot make any modifications to the room. The apartment is not mine. I just want a simple thing: to buy a heater that does not have a thermostat, see details below: The core issue is that thermostats automatically change and cause shockingly unpleasant temperature changes in the room by harshly turning the heating on and off (cold/warm/cold/warm/cold/warm, etc.). Unlike my grandmother's old type of heater, which had no thermostat and therefore provided wonderfully cosy continuous warmth at a constant temperature, depending on how it was manually set before turning it on from a selection of about three power wattage options. Some heaters even had about ten manual power wattage settings or a vast number of power wattage settings by turning a control knob to any position. Of course, my grandmother's old type of heater had a thermal cut-off to prevent overheating. This was not a thermostat, which it did not have, but merely a thermal cut-off. My grandmother had the heater on continuously every winter, autumn, and spring. Usually, the heater would turn off by itself about twice a winter due to overheating. When this happened, you had to wait until it completely cooled down for an hour or two and then manually turn the heater back on. Naturally, every such old type of heater was designed to stand on a carpet without any fire hazards. It stood on legs a few centimetres off the carpet, just like today's modern heaters with thermostats, which constantly bother us with harsh temperature changes in the room by their automatic switching on and off. Therefore, I am looking for a heater that has no thermostat. Does such a heater exist nowadays? If so, please provide a link. Thanks. P.S.: 3000w -

I found this with multiple convector heaters because all of them had the stupid system using the thermostat. This is why a convector heater with NO thermostat is a must. My grandmother had a very old type of electric convector heater with NO thermostat and she never had any such problem. -

. I remember how my grandmother had a very old type of electric heater, where she could choose one of three heating power settings, and then the heater would heat continuously and the warmth was constant. But today's modern ones with thermostats are terrible: every now and then the room gets cold because the thermostat decides to turn off the heater just because it was already 24°C in the immediate vicinity. The thermostat doesn't care that a few meters away from the heater it's only about 20°C. I don't understand why they make such a ridiculous system. I would only understand it if the thermal sensor could be placed separately somewhere in the room away from the heater. But such a heater would probably be too expensive. The good old types of electric heaters without thermostats were the best! -

. JohnMo, ...But if the sensor on the heater detects the maximum possible temperature, for example, 30 degrees, it automatically turns off the heater. But I don't want that because in other parts of the room, the temperature is much lower than what the thermal sensor detects right next to the heater. Therefore, I need a heater that does not have this thermal sensor/thermostat at all, so that the heater does not turn off automatically after reaching the maximum temperature of, for example, thirty degrees. Does such a heater exist? If so, please provide a link. Thank you. -
. Does a portable electric heater without a thermostat exist? I mean this: I don't like it when the thermal sensor turns the heater on and off based on the current room temperature. I want the heater to be permanently on. I just want to choose one of the options in advance, for example: 1000W, 2000W, or 3000W. If it exists, could you please provide me with a link to a specific page where it is for sale? I've been searching on Google all day. Unfortunately, I only find portable electric heaters with a thermostat, which I don't want. Many thanks.

Only £600? It sounds cheap!

No one have had the gas connection done?

I would like to know your own experiences about the costs to have the connection of electricity done to the public system. - The location? - How many metres from your house to the street to the el. system? - The price? I am making this research to know the average cost to make my own plans. Many thanks.
