What Are Electric Storage Heaters & How Do They Work?
Electric storage heaters are one of the most common ways to heat homes without gas in the UK. They typically work by charging up when electricity is cheaper (off-peak), storing heat in special ceramic or clay bricks. During the peak hours, the stored warmth is released slowly to keep your rooms comfortable.
The best part? They are almost 100% efficient. Meaning every unit of electricity is converted into usable heat. This makes them an efficient, zero-emission alternative to traditional central heating.
ECO4 Now Covers Electric Storage Heaters + Solar Panels
Around 15% of households in Great Britain are NOT connected to the gas grid and rely on costly, inefficient, or outdated electric systems to stay warm.
The ECO4 scheme now makes it possible for eligible off-gas households to receive brand-new electric storage heaters plus free solar panels – 100% funded by the government.
Thus, you can get reliable heating, lower bills, and clean, renewable energy at ZERO upfront cost.
