Electric Storage Heater Grants

Yes. The Energy Company Obligation (ECO) scheme provides funding for the installation of energy-efficient heating systems and insulation in homes where the householder meets certain qualifying criteria. The amount of money you receive will depend on your circumstances and the type of storage heater you install, but grants can potentially cover 100% of the cost of installation.

Yes, this would fall under the remit of the ECO4 scheme. If you have any questions about eligibility, then please call us on 01942 918 844 or visit us in person at our new North West showroom, and we’ll be glad to help out.

There are a number of benefits to installing electric storage heaters in your home, including:

• Lower running costs – They use cheaper off-peak electricity to heat up during the night and then release the heat during the day.
• Easy to install – Storage heaters are relatively easy to install and don’t require any major plumbing or gas work, making them a good option for older properties where installing central heating is not possible.
• Long lifespan – Some models of storage heaters can last for up to 30 years, meaning they’re excellent value for money over the long term.
• Low maintenance – Storage heaters don’t require regular servicing or repairs, saving you money in the long run.
• Environmentally friendly – Storage heaters can be a more environmentally friendly option than other types of heating, as they don’t produce any emissions.

Certainly! If you’re a homeowner or renting from a private landlord, you might be eligible to receive one of the best storage heaters at no cost. This modern Electric Storage Heater (ESH) is equipped with Smart Heating Control technology.

To qualify, your property should primarily use electric heaters, and you should be receiving income-related benefits.

Here’s the criteria:

• You’re a homeowner or a private tenant
• You receive income-related benefits
• You are a pensioner or over 60 years old
• Your property is not connected to the gas network, meaning it uses electricity, coal, wood, LPG, oil, etc., as the main fuel source

It’s a type of electric heater that stores heat during off-peak hours and releases it during the day. They’re typically made up of a ceramic or metal heating element, a heat storage material, and a thermostat.

Modern storage heaters differ from older models in a number of ways, including improved efficiency, more features (such as programmable thermostats, timers, and remote controls), and they’re more stylish and attractive to look at.

Electric storage heaters work by taking advantage of lower electricity rates during the night. During off-peak hours, these heaters draw electricity and store it as heat in specially designed bricks. Then, throughout the day, when electricity costs more, they release this stored heat to warm your room.

This process allows you to enjoy a comfortable temperature without having to pay the higher daytime electricity rates. The best part? You have control over how much heat is released, so you can keep your space just as warm as you like, making these heaters efficient and economical.

It depends on how and when you use them. Storage heaters can be cheaper if you use a special electricity deal that charges you less for power used at night (like Economy 7). They store heat at night and give it off during the day, using cheaper night time electricity. However, gas central heating, which uses gas, might cost less than using electricity during the day without these special deals.

An off-peak tariff, such as Economy 7, offers electricity at lower prices during the night for about 7 hours. This plan is great for saving money by using electricity when it’s cheaper, typically at night. Economy 7 storage heaters charge up with this cheaper electricity at night and warm your home during the day.

Even though the heater itself might be free through a grant or scheme, you’ll still need to pay for the electricity it uses to heat up at night. The good news is that this electricity can be cheaper if you’re on an off-peak tariff. So, while the heater doesn’t cost anything to get, you’ll pay for the electricity it uses, which can be lower with the right electricity plan.
