They charge during off-peak hours when electricity is cheapest (typically 12am-7am) and retain heat for over 16 hours, eliminating the need for expensive peak-rate electricity.
Yes, private tenants can apply for electric storage heater grants with landlord permission. You'll need a signed consent form from your landlord. The grant also requires solar panel installation for tenanted properties to further reduce energy costs and improve the property's EPC rating.
Absolutely. Modern high-heat retention storage heaters use advanced ceramic core technology that stores heat during off-peak charging and releases it gradually throughout the day. With a minimum of 45% heat retention over 16 hours, they provide consistent warmth from morning through evening without additional charging.
Our certified engineers will safely remove and dispose of your old electric heaters responsibly as part of the installation process. All removal, disposal, and new installation work is included in the grant at no cost to you – you simply enjoy your new energy-efficient heating system.
