How do storage heaters work?
Storage heaters can be thought of as two separate elements working together. One heats up the ceramic brick element, whilst the other is in control of how much heat is released into the room. Storage heaters work in sync with a thermostat and timer to give you control of when the heater is switched on and how much heat gets released out into the room.
Storage heaters draw electricity from the grid during off peak hours and use this energy to heat up ceramic bricks within the storage heater. During peak hours, the stored heat energy is released as and when you need to heat up a room, depending on how cold it is outside!
Why might I need to consider storage heater upgrades?
How old is the storage heater at your home in Crewkerne? If models are pre 1970s, the heaters may have asbestos. A professional like Yeovil Electrics can assist with the safe removal of older style storage heaters.
Older models lack features such as digital or WiFi controls which allow property owners to manage heat levels accurately. New models can also include fan components which assist in distributing heat evenly and rapidly throughout rooms. As experienced electricians, storage heater upgrades are completely seamless. Installation typically takes us a day or two so we will be out of the way in no time.
What is high heat retention?
HRR storage heaters provide added layers of insulation to help retain heat for much longer. The outside of the heater will remain cool while it's not in use. Modern storage heaters now include innovative features such as open window detection. If an open window is detected, the system shuts off to prevent any heat from being wasted and lost through the opening.
Storage heater upgrades could give you up to 27% better energy efficiency leading to lower utility bills. If storage heater upgrades are on the cards for you, Yeovil Electrics do recommend HHR heaters as the modern standard.
How will off peak heating benefit me?
If you’re interested in storage heater upgrades, you’ll be taking steps towards the UK’s goal of reaching net zero carbon emissions by 2050. Storage heaters utilise off peak electricity such as during the night which makes it a cheaper option. As storage heaters function by using energy from off peak times, homeowners will benefit from lower energy bills.
