Upgrade your home heating with our advanced storage heaters, designed to deliver cost-effective warmth by utilizing off-peak electricity. Ideal for homes without central heating or those looking to save on energy bills, electric storage heaters efficiently store heat overnight and release it throughout the day. At Heating2Go, we stock high-performance Dimplex storage heaters, Elnur storage heaters, and Haverland storage heaters, ensuring reliable and economical heating solutions.
How Do Storage Heaters Work?
Storage heaters use high heat retention bricks to absorb and store thermal energy overnight when electricity costs are lower (Economy 7 or Economy 10 tariffs). The stored heat is then gradually released throughout the day, providing a comfortable and consistent temperature in your home. Modern storage heaters offer advanced features like automatic charge regulators, adaptive start technology, and smart WiFi controls for enhanced efficiency and control.
