Electric Storage Heaters
Free High Heat Retention (HHR) storage heaters are far more energy efficient than the old heaters that existed years ago! Their high heat retention properties allow them to retain more heat for longer. They work by using the economy 7 tariff that uses the low rate of kwh per pence between 1am – 7am in the morning. So when you’re sleeping, they’re charging or storing the heat in the special bricks inside of them. The bricks store the heat and release it throughout the day gradually. They have an LED setting and look much nicer than old heaters. Your current energy provider, like EON, will install a new second meter for you that is a dual tariff or economy 7. This will tap into the cheaper rate of electricity for the HHR storage heaters to work off. There are 3 different strength heaters HHR20, HHR30 and the HHR40 – all very expensive to buy privately but free under the scheme with us.
