Storage heaters

Storage heaters are electrical heaters that store heat generated from low-cost nighttime electricity and release it during the day.

Storage heaters are electrical heaters that store heat generated from low-cost nighttime electricity and release it during the day.

 

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 off peak, it’s supplied at a cheaper price than standard rate electricity, so it needs a separate off-peak electrical circuit and meter.

 

How does it 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 for use the next day. The off-peak heaters use insulation material to retain as much of this heat for as long as possible.

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. In addition, Quantum has a highly insulated core to store the heat for longer and has a fan 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.
