This SPARES2GO replacement heating element is designed for homeowners and professional technicians seeking to restore the functionality of their existing night storage heaters. It provides a reliable 850W output to ensure efficient heat retention and distribution throughout the night, though users must confirm the dimensions and terminal type match their specific unit before purchase to ensure a successful installation.

While it is a universal-fit component, it is compatible with many models from brands like Unidare, Dimplex, and Heatstore. You must verify that your heater requires an 850W element with 2-pin terminals and the 405mm x 170mm size.
Typically, you will need a screwdriver set to remove the heater casing and potentially pliers to secure the electrical connectors.
If you are comfortable with basic electrical work and have verified the power is off, it is a straightforward replacement. If you are not confident, please consult a qualified electrician.
The wattage represents the power draw; using a component with the same rating as your original element will keep your energy consumption consistent with your heater's design.
If your heater uses a different connector type (e.g., spade or screw terminals), this element will not be compatible. Do not force the connection.
Double-check that the 2-pin connectors are securely pushed onto the terminals and ensure the mains power has been switched back on.
Verify that your specific storage heater model supports the 405mm x 170mm dimensions; if the cavity is larger, ensure the retaining clips are correctly positioned.
Immediately disconnect the power. This indicates a loose connection; tighten the connectors and ensure no oxidation is present on the wires.
Before starting the setup, ensure the electricity supply to the storage heater is completely isolated at the mains. To install, remove the outer casing of the storage heater, carefully slide out the old heating element, and note the configuration of the 2-pin terminals. Connect the new SPARES2GO element to the existing wiring, ensuring a firm, secure fit to prevent arcing. For long-term care, avoid covering the heater vents or placing objects directly on the unit, as this can cause premature element degradation. Ensure the area around the terminals remains free of dust and debris to prevent electrical faults.
