They are economical as well as cheap, easy to install and easy to\u00a0operate,\u00a0maintenance free and very durable\u2026 the list just keeps on going. But their main asset and the one they\u00a0owe their popularity to, is their ability to charge overnight, thus using\u00a0cheaper night time tariffs, such as the Economy 7. However, they are not the most efficient choice for everyone. A storage heater will not turn out to be economical if you\u2019re not\u00a0at home throughout the day. If you\u2019re working in normal office hours, your storage heater will simply heat an empty house, leaving you with only few hours of warmth once you return.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s important to understand how storage heaters work before assessing whether they are beneficial for you. Thermal heating bricks in the heater body warm up between midnight and 8am when the electricity is available at cheaper rates. As the air circulates\u00a0throughout your home, it is passed through your storage heaters and heated up by the bricks. The convected heat then circulates throughout your home, providing comfortable temperatures for a couple of hours, until the heater has to be charged up again. Working during office hours means your storage heater releases most heat when you\u2019re away. Furthermore, if you\u2019re bedtime is not particularly early, you might find your storage heaters are already cold by the time you go to sleep. In order to have your storage heaters working in the hours you\u2019re at home, you would have to charge them during the day, meaning you\u2019re losing out on the feature that makes<\/p>\n<p>them so affordable. Thus the question remains: <strong>who benefits from using storage heaters?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Storage heaters are a great solution for the elderly and pensioners, as well as other groups of people who tend to stay at home. First of all, they are exceptionally easy to operate. Whereas some of the more innovative electric heaters can turn out to be complicated for someone who isn\u2019t used to modern technology, all of our storage heaters\u00a0have simple settings and can be used by anyone. Limited features of the storage heaters mean it is harder to maintain the exact comfort temperature, meaning the temperature they provide can be too high for some of us. However, these higher temperatures can sometimes be desirable \u2013 especially as we get older. As we age, our bodies find it more difficult to maintain a comfortable temperature. The level of fat below our skin also decreases. Therefore, the level of warmth storage heaters provide, potentially too high for young and middle aged people, can turn out to be just perfect for the elderly. Older people also tend to wake up and go to bed early, therefore they can make the most out of the storage heater\u2019s operating hours and the night time tariffs.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"float: right;\" title=\"Elnur Storage Heater\" src=\"\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/wysiwyg\/Elnur2.PNG\" alt=\"Elnur Storage Heater\" width=\"315\" height=\"257\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Business offices are also very likely to benefit from using a storage heater. Whether it\u2019s a surgery, a small office or any\u00a0 other\u00a0work-related area, a storage heater is a reliable heating solution. This is because a storage heater will work during the hours that most offices and surgeries operate at, which is 9am-5pm. All it requires is a standard socket and simple DIY understanding to be installed, and they are ready to go, as long as no one turns them off throughout the day.<\/p>\n<p>So there you have it.
