How do electric storage heaters work?

Electric storage heaters work by taking advantage of lower electricity rates during the night. During off-peak hours, these heaters draw electricity and store it as heat in specially designed bricks. Then, throughout the day, when electricity costs more, they release this stored heat to warm your room instead of using expensive electricity.

This process allows you to enjoy a comfortable temperature without having to pay the higher daytime electricity rates. The best part? You have control over how much heat is released, so you can keep your space just as warm as you like, making these heaters efficient and economical.

The two surveyor's who came out were very professional and personal, we had a laugh about one being a Wigan warriors fan and we're Rhinos fans lol. Then Rob who came out to fit the boiler again very professional and personal, very tidy workmanship. Can't thank your company enough, new boiler fitted in less than a week and easy to deal with.

Electric storage heater grant FAQs

The amount of money you receive will depend on your circumstances and the type of storage heater you install, but grants can potentially cover 100% of the installation cost.

  • Low maintenance
  • Environmentally friendly

What is an electric storage heater?

An electric storage heater stores heat during off-peak hours and releases it during the day. They’re typically made up of a ceramic or metal heating element, a heat storage material, and a thermostat.

Modern storage heaters differ from older models in several ways, including improved efficiency, more features (such as programmable thermostats, timers, and remote controls), and a more stylish and attractive appearance. Ready to get your own electric storage heater? Give us a call today.

How to use electric storage heaters efficiently?

We want you to get the most out of your new electric storage heater. Here are some of our top tips on how to use them efficiently:

  • Use the heater’s controls to adjust the heat stored and released based on the weather and your daily needs.
  • Keeping heat in is key. Seal drafts and think about improving your insulation to stop heat from escaping your home; this will make your heater’s job easier and more cost-effective.

Why do storage heaters use electricity at night?

Storage heaters use electricity at night because energy costs are cheaper. They store heat while you sleep and gradually release it throughout the day, allowing you to warm your home at lower nighttime costs.

What is the off-peak Economy 7 tariff?

An off-peak tariff, such as Economy 7, offers electricity at lower prices during the night for about 7 hours. This plan is great for saving money by using electricity when it’s cheaper, typically at night. Economy 7 storage heaters charge up with this cheaper electricity at night and warm your home during the day.
