From Repairs to Full Installations – We've Got You Covered
A storage heater is an electric heating appliance that stores heat in insulated ceramic bricks or other heat-retaining materials. Traditional models usually charge overnight using electricity and release stored heat during the day.
Running costs depend on the heater’s power rating, how long it charges, your electricity tariff and how much heat your home needs. An Economy 7 or another suitable off-peak tariff may reduce charging costs, but savings depend on the tariff rates and usage.
Not necessarily. Costs depend on the type of heating system, energy tariffs, property insulation and household heating habits. Storage heaters may benefit from off-peak electricity, while other systems may be more economical in different circumstances.
Traditional storage heaters typically store heat overnight and release it throughout the following day. Modern high-heat-retention models generally have improved insulation and controls, allowing them to retain heat for longer and provide more controlled heat output.
No, a special tariff is not always essential. However, storage heaters are often used with tariffs that offer cheaper off-peak electricity, such as Economy 7. Check your meter setup and tariff details to confirm when your heater charges and what you pay.
Possible causes include an interrupted electricity supply, incorrect charging settings, a faulty thermostat or heating element, or a problem with the heater’s controls. If basic checks do not resolve the issue, contact a qualified electrician or heating professional.
This depends on the model. Older heaters may have limited controls, while modern models can offer adjustable output, programmable settings and room temperature controls. Check the manufacturer’s instructions for your specific appliance.
Storage heaters may suit properties without gas central heating or homes that can take advantage of off-peak electricity. Their suitability depends on insulation, room sizes, heating requirements, electricity tariffs and whether heat is needed throughout the day.
Yes. Depending on your property and requirements, options may include modern high-heat-retention storage heaters, panel heaters or other electric heating systems. Compare installation costs, controls and expected running costs before choosing a replacement.
Storage heaters generally require less routine maintenance than some combustion-based heating systems. However, they should be checked if they show signs of damage, overheating, unusual smells or electrical faults. Electrical inspection and repair should be carried out by a suitably qualified professional.
