The Advantages of Storage Heaters

All Posts

Storage heaters are a great way to provide heat for your home while saving you money on your bills. However, they are usually thought to be too hot in the morning and too cold in the evening. Fortunately, this is usually due to user error, and storage heaters are a great way to provide the right amount of heat at the times you wish.

So here are some of the advantages of storage heaters.

Storage heater

Cost-Effective

Storage heaters are a great way to provide cost-effective electric heating to your home. They generate and store heat during off-peak times, which is much cheaper than at peak times. The heat stored is then released slowly over time, keeping you warm all day long from heat stored during the middle of the night or at other off-peak times.

Cool To The Touch

Storage heaters are great because they can help to heat a room while not actually being too warm themselves, usually heating ceramic bricks that then heat the room. This is ideal if you’re in a house with small children, as they won’t accidentally touch a hot heater and hurt themselves.

Reduce Maintenance Issues

As they provide all-day heat to a room, a storage heater helps to maintain the temperature in the building fabric. Maintaining this temperature can reduce the risk of building issues developing. So storage heaters can keep you warm while also reducing any repair issues that could plague the rest of your home.

Aside from reducing maintenance issues, storage heaters are maintenance free themselves. They’re unlikely to break down and do not require annual servicing.

Accuracy

Storage heaters are highly temperature accurate, meaning they will heat rooms to ideal temperatures without making them too hot, or not providing enough heat and leaving the room cold. If you like your rooms warm, some models incorporate a boost function to provide you with some additional heat.

Small But Effective

Because of how effective the heaters are, they don’t have to be as large as other types of heaters. This allows them to easily be placed anywhere in a room without getting in your way.

To do this, for ECO and GBIS we would like to share your information with the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) via Energy Saving Trust who will verify whether or not you are receiving the relevant benefits to be eligible for either scheme. To check the ownership of your property as registered with HM Land Registry, we need to submit your information through an online checking service provided by the Energy Saving Trust (EST). This will enable us to securely verify the property’s private ownership against the data on the register. EST will not use this data for any other purpose.

Please note that it is not possible for Energy Saving Trust or us, the company using this service, to see which benefits you are through this service. DWP will only confirm whether you are in receipt of a qualifying benefit, not which one. This will not have any impact on future benefit payments.

If you do not want us to share your data with DWP via Energy Saving Trust, you will be required to provide copies of documents that provide proof of the benefits you are in receipt of from the DWP.

If you go on to receive funding through ECO4 or GBIS your data may be audited by Ofgem and/or your Energy Supplier to ensure a valid eligibility check has been completed for you.

If you withdraw consent, the collected data will continue to be processed, however no new data will be collected or used for further processing. We will be required to keep a record of any data already processed for the purposes of Ofgem audits however your data would only be audited in cases where you have received funding from ECO4 or GBIS. Data relating to ECO4 and GBIS eligibility checks will be retained until 30 September 2026 unless otherwise notified by Ofgem.
