Posted by karl williams, on Wed 15 Apr 2015 10:48pm

Hi I have taken out old electric radiators and going to replace with new ones. I have wired up live / neutral / earth but I am getting no power to them at all, I have tried 2 downstairs and 1 upstairs. any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Karl As Bodgan says it sounds like they may have been old storage heaters which will only become live during the night. Get an electrician to look at this for you and verify the circuit. Its easily sorted but you will need an electrician Thanks Russ
