[QUOTE="ProDave, post: 506739, member: 6969"] Really your electrician should be sorting this, rather than an internet forum. Reading between the lines and making an educated guess, it sounds like 2 old storage heaters shared the same fuse. They have been replaced with 2 larger storage heaters that also have a permanent supply. They worked for a while until the "fuse" went. Is it really a fuse or a circuit breaker. Almost certainly the "fuse" is too small to power the two new heaters. What needs to happen depends on the wiring, it might be as simple as a larger "fuse" or it might be better to rewire one of them so each has it's own supply and it's own "fuse" but your electrician should know that and be better placed than us to propose a solution as he knows what is there.
