Off Peak - Storage Heater

Posted On : Feb-22-2010 | seen (412) times | Article Word Count : 419 |

Storage heaters are designed to take advantage of lower energy rates during off-peak hours. The heater runs overnight, when energy is cheaper, building up heat and storing it inside a material like brick, clay or ceramic. The heat is then released during the day instead of using on-peak electricity the way a conventional heater would.

The heater runs overnight, when energy is cheaper, building up heat and storing it inside a material like brick, clay or ceramic. The heat is then released during the day instead of using on-peak electricity the way a conventional heater would.

Storage heaters offer several advantages; If incorporated into your building’s floor-plan, the storage heaters take up less area when compared to gas or oil-fired heating systems. Storage heaters are of course invaluable in areas where natural-gas distribution systems are not available. In such areas, homeowners are forced to pay high utility bills for their electric heating. Storage heaters which use the cheaper electricity are the answer to this problem – they also allow electrical heating without incurring the operating costs of other systems.

You could opt for a manual storage heater or an automatic storage heater. The two controls – charge control (which controls the amount of heat stored) and draught control (which controls the rate at which heat is released) are controlled by the user in a manual storage heater. However, in an automatic storage heater, the two controls operate automatically. You would only need to select the required room temperature.

A thermostatic storage heater will regulate the temperature in a room throughout the day. However, the operator may wish to switch the thermostatic switch to the minimum setting overnight to stop the room being kept at an unnecessarily high temperature overnight. If the room is empty during the day, it is better to keep the thermostat at the minimum setting and then increase the setting when the room is occupied in the evening.

Of all brands, Dimplex and Creda storage heaters are well known for their superior performance and design. The XL and XLS range of electric storage heaters from Dimplex are suitable for a wide range of domestic and commercial applications.
