Chuckmeister Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 Are you talking about heating that they use in bathrooms to warm the tiles or the blankets you can get that sit under the tank?The blankets work well...cant comment on the other though.

Neil Posted July 19, 2015 Author Share Posted July 19, 2015 yes the under tiles type .not so much a blanket, more single wires in circuit loop chased into the wall . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuckmeister Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 The only problem I can with that is that your tank sits on insulating foam.edit - ahh my bad...your talking about on the wall...I have never heard of anyone doing this...will be curious to see any feedback. I have no idea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neil Posted July 19, 2015 Author Share Posted July 19, 2015 this is what I'm on about http://www.amuheat.com.au/slab-heat-cable click on Installation and at 30 watts per meter of cable I recon 10 meters might do three tanks and should go along way to heat the room.

sleazius Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 I've got this in my kitchen floor. It uses a boatload of power, it'd have to be more efficient to just heat the tanks wouldn't it?You're right it will heat a room but in order to have a measurable impact on a space it needs to cover the whole floor in that space. In this case the wall area would need to be at least as large as the floor in the space, but probably wouldn't be that efficient as heat rises. You'd probably be better off covering the whole floor in the stuff and running it 24/7. Either way, heating the tanks directly would be more efficient.
