What is this in my new build hall cupboard??!

[nannymags]

There’s another switch for a fan boost and general fan, another switch and timer for towel rail only (if you want to dry your towels without heating on)

It has a switch under it but no light or noise when I turn it on.

So what can it be?!!

Looks like a neon light with the bulb gone?

Is that not just the fuse? Needs to be switched on for any of it to work

Emergency light? Or just cupboard light with dud bulb?

or maybe needs fuse changed

is there a bulb in it?

Is it a heater, so your cupboard can be an airing cupboard? The cover looks heater-ish to me.

Does it heat up? Is it a cupboard heater?

Looks like an oil filled heater. Strange to have in a new build.

It’s a cockroach trap, they crawl in the little holes. You obviously have a lot of cockroaches,,,

dementedpixie A fuse for what? Excuse my ignorance please!

There’s already a light in there.

Yes agree it looks like a heater

Sorry i thought you were asking about the switch to start with. It looks like a heater. Might turn the cupboard into an airing cupboard in the absence of a hot water cylinder

There’s a dude board in the cupboard already

the switch has a fuse in it too

Fuse board! Not dude!

It's a tubular heater

Okay I’m going to try the switch and leave it..... see if it heats up! Thank you x

My DD had an airing cupboard heater that looked like that it just gave off a gentle heat.

Looks like one of these

Def a heater so you can use the cupboard as an airing cupboard. We had one of these in our old house which was a new build and I don’t think I ever switched it on in the 10 years we lived there.

Insect killer? Was your house built of the site of a butcher's shop?

I have got one of those and don’t know what it is. I assumed it was a heater but it doesn’t get hot!

We had one of those in a new build. It was a heater to turn the cupboard into an airing cupboard. I never used it as it was the only storage in the flat so was used to store things that didn’t want warming! I did wonder where the damp would go...

I have similar in my bathroom cupboards. 1960s build. Mine are heaters, the bar glowsorangey red. Never use them as my bathroom is damp and has had leaks from flat upstairs.

I have one in my new build. The only other thing in the cupboard is a massive boiler, so there in no room for any shelves
