Does anyone know of a company that supplies short storage
heaters? I'm trying to find some that are less than 61cm
high, but 70cm seems to be the only height available from
Dimplex, Electolux et al. I thought I'd found one from AEG,
but on closer translation of the German it turned out to
be 3-phase! Lots of people do thin tall ones, but no one
seems to do wide squat ones!

I've tried various electrical suppliers and hours trawling
the net to no avail. Any info very welcome!

Why does it need to be that height? Bear in mind if you're truing to
cram it under something clearances are required on both sides and at
the top of the unit.

It's replacing a failed unit that is comfortably less than
that height. (The old unit is about 40 years old, and aint
worth fixing before someone suggests that!)

Fixing the existing is more tempting than that, to be honest.
Hmm. You've got me thinking now.
