Electric Storage Heaters
Upgrade to modern, high-efficiency electric storage heaters for a warmer home and lower energy bills. Find out if you qualify for a free upgrade through government grants.
How Do Electric Storage Heaters Work?
Electric storage heaters work by drawing electricity over a period of several hours at night, when electricity tariffs are lower (e.g., Economy 7). They store this energy as heat in ceramic bricks, and then release it throughout the day to keep your home warm.
Modern storage heaters are much more efficient than older models, with better insulation and more responsive controls.
A Government-Backed Scheme
