FAQs about storage heater installation

What is a storage heater?

A storage heater is an electric heater that stores thermal energy by heating up ceramic or clay bricks at night, when electricity is cheaper. It then releases this heat gradually during the day, to keep your home warm.

Can I install a storage heater myself?

No. Storage heaters require hardwiring to a two-tariff meter, making DIY installation unsafe and non-compliant with electrical regulations. Always hire a qualified electrician.

Do storage heaters use a lot of electricity?

Storage heaters are designed to use cheaper night-time electricity and release heat gradually. While electricity can be more expensive than gas, storage heaters make the most of off-peak tariffs to help you save.

Also, bear in mind that most storage heaters are 100% efficient, as all of the electricity they use gets converted into heat.

Who installs storage heaters?

Qualified electricians, often with experience in electric heating systems, are the right tradespeople for storage heater installation.
