Are Modern Storage Heaters More Efficient?
This is part of our complete overview: What are storage heaters?
Storage heaters have long been a reliable heating option in homes across Scotland, but as technical knowledge advances, newer models are significantly more efficient than their older counterparts. If you're considering upgrading your storage heater, you might be wondering how much more efficient modern systems are in terms of energy use and heat output.
Improved Energy Efficiency
Modern storage heaters are designed to use electricity more efficiently, especially when paired with Economy 7 tariffs. Older heaters would often lose heat throughout the day, but newer models are equipped with better heat retention materials and advanced insulation, ensuring minimal energy waste. This allows them to store more heat overnight when electricity is cheaper and release it slowly throughout the day.
Key Benefits of Modern Storage Heaters Include:
Better Heat Retention - Modern units retain heat for longer, reducing the need for constant recharging.
Smarter Controls - Advanced features like programmable timers and thermostats help reduce energy waste by allowing users to control when and how much heat is released.
Reduced Carbon Output
With energy-efficient improvements comes a reduction in carbon emissions. New storage heaters produce fewer carbon emissions than older models due to their optimised energy use. This makes modern heaters an eco-friendly choice, especially for households looking to reduce their carbon footprint.
Enhanced Heat Output and Control
Modern storage heater outputs are much more adjustable than older versions. Users can control heat levels more precisely, keeping rooms at the desired temperature without overheating or wasting energy. Newer models also come with fan-assisted systems that help distribute the heat more evenly across a room.
Additional Features of Modern Storage Heaters:
Programmable Settings - This allows you to tailor your heat settings to your daily routine.
Boost Modes – These modes provide extra heat when needed without increasing long-term energy costs.
Conclusion
Modern storage heaters are much more efficient than older models, offering better control, enhanced heat retention, and reduced carbon output.
