1. High Running Costs
Electric heating often leads to bigger energy bills compared to gas central heating or renewable heating systems.
2. Lack of Control
Storage heaters rely on charging overnight and slowly releasing heat. You can’t adjust the warmth when you actually need it.
3. Inconsistent Temperatures
Rooms are too hot in the morning and freezing cold by evening. It’s hard to stay comfortable.
4. Poor Efficiency
Old storage heaters leak heat and don’t distribute warmth evenly around your home.
5. Limited Hot Water
Electric heating doesn’t easily tie into a reliable hot water system, meaning extra costs and more inconvenience.
How This Affects You
These problems aren’t just annoying — they can make you genuinely miserable. Cold, uncomfortable homes impact your mood, sleep, and even your health. Damp, cold conditions are linked to respiratory issues, especially for children and older adults.
Why upgrading your electric storage radiators is a better choice.
High heat retention storage radiators are an efficient and cost-effective heating solution that store cheap off-peak electricity at night and release heat gradually during the day, reducing energy use and costs. With improved insulation, smart controls, and features like timers and sensors, they offer precise heat management and consistent comfort. Easy to install, low maintenance, and compatible with renewable energy, they are an ideal option for homes without gas access. Government grant schemes are available to help cover the installation costs, with the potential to include funding for adding solar panels as well.
