REPLACE OUTDATED STORAGE HEATERS

TAKE A LOOK AT OUR "REPLACING STORAGE HEATERS" VIDEO

First you need to understand your existing economy 7 or 10 tariffs (or sometimes known as total heat total control in Scotland). For example:-

If we pay 8p per kw all the time for everything, can you see what they have done?

Being polite we call this a mathematical "slight of hand"!!!!

Our product is not a storage heater, it is a far more modern product with full control, high quality of heat and low energy consumption. Switch it on and it will be heating the room within 5 mins.

You could say it has a similar quality of heat to a gas system (wet), and far superior controllability than gas, our test result on running costs, shows it is a realistic substitute for gas.

Each radiator can be multi time and multi temperature controlled, so you have the exact individual temperature for any given room and better still vary that temperature depending on the time of day.

It requires only a normal single rate domestic electric tariff, the most competitive being around 8 to 9.5p per kw.compared to storage a far more realistic experience with superior levels of heat and control. This plus running costs that could make our product a realistic substitute. (see calculation at the foot of the page)

To change from your storage heaters is simple, having removed them, any quality electrician can change the electrical points to a 24 hour supply (storage heaters only get electric for 7 hours).

This should take him about 30 minutes.

What you need to know about your existing storage heaters.

Storage heaters are filled with bricks, they use what you are lead to believe is cheap rate off peak electricity to store up heat over night. Sadly this is a mathematical "sleight of hand".

What you need to realise is that the on peak tariff is over inflated and designed to steal back those savings so you will always pay on average the same as anyone else.

Economy 7 tariff, what is often overlooked is that you get a cheap rate only for the hot water and heating, the rest of the house is penalised on a far higher inflated 24 hour price that effectively means any real savings are significantly reduced or even neutralised.

e.g. economy 7 tariff 5p off peak / 12p on peak, a normal 24 hour tariff could be 8p --33% lower than the on peak.

The only reason they give you a low off peak is you use huge amounts of electricity which is completely unnecessary, ultimately costing you a great deal. (see calculation at the foot of the page)

You need to predict the weather the day before you need the heat.

Once you have stored the heat, unfortunately you cannot stop it coming out, or conversely they do tend to run out of heat in the evening just when you need it most.

The heat given off by a storage heater is a dry heat, the air is actually physically burnt hence the carbon deposits, this is extremely bad for your health and incredibly hazardous for asthma sufferers.

Worse the distribution of heat tends to be very high at the ceiling and minimal around your feet, where you often need it.

So the steps you need to take:-

Calculation:-
A storage heater must be set for a fixed 7 hours to store heat overnight you have no choice on that, out test shows that in our portacabin (very badly insulated) we used on average only 6 hours per day but when mixed with modern well insulated rooms that dropped to 3.5 hours per day a 50% reduction.

Then we must factor in that a storage heater will require a larger heating element to overcome its inherent inefficiency's compared to these products, that could easily reduce energy consumption by a further 25% or more.

Any comparison made is (and must be) on a like for like basis, that is to say an identical quality and quantity of heat, our product is capable of significantly higher levels of sustained thermostatically controlled heat output. Customers therefore will experience dramatically increased comfort levels and may sometimes trade an even further increased comfort against those savings in electric consumption and running costs.

"All statements made are our " own opinion" based on the real life and published running costs of four test rooms which we measured on our own premises".

"In excess of 30% of all our business comes from referred business from highly delighted customers who have all concluded exactly as we have. As a consequence sales are up by a factor of double year on year to £2.5 million pa and now heading for £4 million pa".

"To date not one GENUINE complaint".............................
