Richard Moore Posted March 2, 2012 Report Share Posted March 2, 2012 1924 home, all the original finished rooms, even the bathroom, had these large resistance heaters. All long disconnected (wires snipped) and replaced with forced air heat. They are basically spring-coils stretched across a fiber panel. I'm guessing those fiber panels are asbestos but was wondering if anyone knows for sure. I've never seen the likes of them before...maybe as a child in England, but never in a home here.

Bill Kibbel Posted March 3, 2012 Report Share Posted March 3, 2012 I'm quite sure the panels contain asbestos. I've seen some primary documentation (product catalogues, advertisements, articles) from the period describing the components. They were originally developed for heating street cars.
