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.

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.
