What is a storage heater?

Do storage heaters use off-peak electricity?

Modern storage heaters use off-peak electricity which is provided overnight when electricity demands are lower. This ‘off-peak’ period is supplied at a cheaper price than standard rate electric tariffs and also helps balance the demand for electricity throughout the day.

How much electricity does a storage heater use?

Small electric storage heaters typically consume about 1kW of power when charging heat, while larger ones can draw closer to 3kW. Although that’s a lot of electricity, remember that is the maximum amount of power it will consume, so the minimum energy efficiency rating is much better.
