Electric Storage Heaters
Electric storage heaters offer several benefits, especially in certain circumstances or environments. Please read the following information explaining the benefits to help decide if you think a storage heater is a suitable heating solution for your property.
While electric storage heaters have these benefits, it’s essential to consider factors such as insulation levels, property size, and lifestyle preferences when determining whether they are the right heating solution for your needs. If you would like to discuss the possible installation of a storage heater at your property please see our shop section or make an enquiry using the form below.

Energy Efficiency:
Electric storage heaters are designed to take advantage of off-peak electricity tariffs, typically charging overnight when electricity rates are lower. This stored heat can then be released during the day when needed, providing warmth without the need for continuous high-rate electricity consumption.
Cost Savings:
By utilising off-peak electricity tariffs, electric storage heaters can help reduce energy costs compared to traditional heating systems that rely on peak-hour electricity rates. This can result in significant savings on heating bills over time, especially in areas where off-peak tariffs are available.
Control and Flexibility:
Many modern electric storage heaters come with advanced controls and programmable features, allowing users to adjust heating settings based on their preferences and daily schedules. This level of control enables users to customize their heating patterns and optimise energy usage according to their specific needs.
Even Heat Distribution:
Electric storage heaters are designed to provide consistent and even heat distribution throughout the space they are installed in. This can help maintain a comfortable and stable indoor temperature, reducing the likelihood of cold spots or overheating in certain area.
No Boiler Required:
Unlike central heating systems that rely on boilers, electric storage heaters do not require a boiler or pipework installation, making them suitable for properties where installing a traditional central heating system may be impractical or cost-prohibitive.
Low Maintenance:
Electric storage heaters generally require minimal maintenance compared to other heating systems. They do not have moving parts or combustion processes, reducing the need for regular servicing or repairs.
No Carbon Monoxide Risk:
Since electric storage heaters do not burn fuel or produce combuson gases, there is no risk of carbon monoxide (CO) emissions. This can enhance safety and peace of mind, especially in properties where ventilation may be limited.
