What are the benefits of storage heating?
Here we look a little more closely at
all the advantages that come with your
storage heaters.
Whether you have a new installation,
an existing one, or are thinking about
installing one, it’s good to know the
benefits when compared to other
types of heating.
With all models these include fast,
easy installation (no pipes, boiler or flue)
and 24 hours of warmth for the cost
of 7-10 hours’ worth of cheap rate
electricity. Storage heaters also have
a number of other benefits including:
• Require no annual maintenance
• Are clean
• Are safe
• Are easily upgradable
• Have a very long life
• Are 100% efficient
All storage heaters come with this
impressive list of benefits but please
view the products individually for
their specific features and benefits.
Further information can be found on
our website, along with full product
specifications, operating guides,
video guides, questions and answers,
local installers and service information.

Running cost comparisons
When it comes to making comparisons
between the efficiencies and running costs
of direct-acting (conventional electric
space heating) appliances of various types
and electric storage space heaters,
there should be no confusion, since the
comparisons are very straightforward.
Because storage heaters use
energy supplied by low-cost, off-peak
electricity, for a given property they
will always be cheaper to run over
a 16 hour day, rather than direct-acting
heaters which use day-rate electricity,
whether these are convectors or fluid
filled heaters.
Direct acting heaters, such as panel or
standard convector heaters, oil or water
filled radiators are unable to take full
advantage of off-peak electricity and are
designed to use standard rate electricity,
so they provide fairly instant heat when
they are switched on. They are mostly
used for rooms which only require
heating for short periods, like bedrooms,
although in compact, well insulated
modern properties they can be used
as a complete heating system.
