Tube Heaters

[Piers]

Where do I buy tube heaters, the type used in green houses, for keeping the boat snug for winter.

Argos - no

B & Q - no

Where now?

I purchased mine from the local dimplex electrical reseller and was able to get a 4 ft 250W version that was ideal for the engine room.

Hi Piers

Focus, at the Tilehurst end of Oxford Road in Reading had them last month and, if I remember correctly, in a choice of sizes. Might be worth giving them a ring.

I saw them a couple of weeks ago in the chandlery in Port Solent in all sizes - but they were half the price at my local hardware store.

Try www.tlc-direct.co.uk I have seen it recommended on here before, they sell them.

I just got some from TLC - very efficient. Even put the correct size fuze in the plugs I got at the same time.

Got mine out of Index, I think you'll find its about the same price as TLC-Direct, but no P&P, and also comes with flex and plug fitted.

The link doesn't work, But is under Heaters/Appliances.

Piers, you presumably have MarineAir aircon on the F55, right? In which case, do you know how to set them to autodehumid mode (you press 2 buttons together and the display says "Hu"). Then you dont need to lug freestanding dehumid units aboard. I'm probly telling you how to suck eggs but lots of MarineAir owners don't do this or know about it

Success

Thanks everyone - really helpful.

Have ordered from TLC - the least expensive and easiest website to use!
