Electric Storage Heater
Upgrade to smart, high-heat retention storage heaters that charge overnight on low-tariff electric schedules.
Service Overview
For properties without a gas connection that rely on electric radiators, traditional heating can be extremely drafty. Smart High-Heat Retention (HHR) storage heaters resolve this by charging heat cells overnight during off-peak hours when electricity is cheapest (e.g. Economy 7 tariff). This heat is stored in thermal blocks and released gradually throughout the following day. Modern units feature digital thermostats, Wi-Fi smart controls, and fan-assisted heat distribution to ensure you only heat the rooms you are using, when you are using them.
Key Benefits & Efficiency Gains
Frequently Asked Questions
How do modern storage heaters differ from old ones?
Old storage heaters released heat uncontrollably, leaving rooms cold by evening. Modern HHR heaters have advanced insulation that retains heat, releasing it only when you turn the thermostat up.
Do I need a special electricity meter?
Yes, you need a dual-rate meter (like Economy 7 or Economy 10) to benefit from the cheaper overnight electricity rates.
