Storage heaters
Storage heaters are electrical heaters that store heat generated from low-cost nighttime electricity and release it during the day.
Modern storage heaters use off-peak electricity which is supplied from the national grid to your house, usually overnight when demand for electricity nationally is low. This is called the ‘off-peak’ period, because it’s supplied at a cheaper price than standard rate electric tariffs, so it needs a separate off-peak electrical circuit and meter. Because a storage heater works by using energy from off-peak periods, users can enjoy reduced energy bills when compared to a more traditional heating system.
How do storage heaters work?
In the same way that your kettle uses an element to heat water, electricity is used to heat elements in your heater. Over a number of hours, the elements gradually transfer the heat to very high-density energy retention cells that absorb and store the heat to heat your home the next day. The off-peak heaters use insulation material to retain as much of this heat for as long as possible.
What does Storage Heating mean for you?

Featured products
Quantum
Our Quantum is specially classified as a ‘high heat retention’ storage heater which features smart controls that take exactly the correct amount of charge for more cost-effective energy consumption. In addition, Quantum has a highly insulated core to store the heat for longer and is fan assisted to extract the heat more evenly. It features a direct acting heating element to provide extra heat if required.
XLE
Our XLE storage heater, although not classified as a high retention storage heater is a more conventional design and boasts superior insulation properties over traditional storage heaters.
