Free night storage heaters
If you’re considering replacing your old convertor heater or broken electric panel heaters with new high heat retention storage, you’ll be please to hear that the grant scheme involves Elnur High Heat Retention Storage Heaters – touted as “the best electric storage heaters currently available“.
Efficient
Fan assisted storage heaters reduce the amount of time waiting for the warmup. The fan will move for as long as it takes to raise the temperature and maintain it.
Quiet
In comparison to old storage heaters, ELNUR’s fan produces significantly less noise, this is because ELNUR is designed to minimize any disruption.
Safe to touch
The storage heater is cool to the touch, even when it’s working at it’s maximum power.
Space
Smaller than older storage heaters, they take up less space in your home and are much more efficient than their larger and older counterparts.
Cost
Cheaper costs to install it not only by the wall due to their portability (unlike radiators which are often attached to the wall).
Flexible
You can choose to release heat on a schedule or at less specific certain times depending on your needs.
How do electric storage heaters work?
An electric storage heater works by collecting electricity at night and later releasing it as heat on demand.
Ceramic bricks are typically used to heat these heaters and they are 100% efficient since everything they produce is used.
As they contain no moving parts such as valves or heat pumps like radiators, it is unlikely that an electric storage heater will break down and require maintenance.
This means that they are capable of heating large rooms without using an excessive amount of money, unlike even the best electric radiators and older models of ESH.

Are storage heaters more expensive to run than central heating?
No, but there are things to keep in mind to benefit from all the advantages that ESH can give you.
First, you don’t have to worry about electric storage heaters‘ prices as they are fully funded by government-backed grants for electric storage heaters if you meet certain criteria.
While gas is cheaper than electricity, its price rose by 54% last year. With such trends continuing, electricity is proving to be a more feasible option to heat your home each day, especially if you use the cost-efficient night tariffs that ESH can run on.
What is an off-peak tariff (Economy 7 Storage Heaters)?
Off-peak tariff is available during times when costs are low. This is typically for seven hours (12am to 7am) as less people will be using the electric grid during the night. This is usually done through Economy 7 via an agreement with your energy supplier.
You will not have to pay the cost of daytime electricity during this time, meaning you can store heat for less and selectively use energy when you need it most.
The range of off-peak tariffs available for your area and house may depend on where you live.

Eligibility criteria may vary depending on the grant scheme, but typically, households receiving certain benefits such as Income Support, Universal Credit, or Pension Guarantee Credit may qualify. Other factors such as income level and property type may also be considered.
Application processes may differ depending on the grant scheme. Typically, you can apply online through government websites or through approved installers. You may need to provide documentation such as proof of benefits and property details.
Electric storage heaters are heating systems that store electricity during off-peak hours and release it as heat when needed. They are designed to provide consistent warmth throughout the day while reducing energy consumption and costs.
Electric storage heaters use electricity to heat up a thermal mass (such as ceramic bricks) during off-peak hours when electricity is cheaper. The stored heat is then released gradually throughout the day, providing warmth when needed.
Benefits include energy efficiency, cost savings on heating bills, consistent warmth, and eco-friendliness.
Savings vary depending on factors such as the size of your home, insulation levels, and usage patterns. On average, households can expect to see significant reductions in heating costs compared to traditional heating systems.
While electric storage heaters offer many benefits, they may not be suitable for all homes. Factors such as property size, insulation, and heating requirements should be considered before installation. Additionally, they may require careful management of heat settings to ensure optimal performance.
The Eco4 lineup includes a diverse range of products spanning different categories such as energy-efficient appliances, biodegradable packaging, sustainable home goods, and more. Each product is carefully crafted to align with Eco4’s mission of sustainability.
Installation times may vary depending on factors such as the size of your home and the number of heaters being installed. On average, installation can typically be completed within a day.
Electric storage heaters generally require minimal maintenance. However, it’s recommended to have them inspected periodically to ensure they are functioning efficiently. Dusting or vacuuming the heaters occasionally can also help maintain their performance.
It’s highly recommended to have electric storage heaters installed by a qualified professional to ensure they are installed correctly and safely. DIY installation can pose safety risks and may void warranties.
