High Heat Retention Storage Heaters

What are high heat retention storage heaters?

A high heat retention storage heater offers improved efficiency, better user control and reduced heat loss, when compared to a traditional storage heater. It uses advanced insulation to store energy efficiently during off-peak times, as well as smart controls to deliver heat precisely when required, minimising energy wastage.

How do they work?

Storage heaters use ‘off peak’ energy to heat an internal heating element over a few hours. The element gradually transfers the heat to very high-density energy retention cells that absorb and store the heat to heat your home the next day. The storage heaters use insulation material to retain as much of this heat for as long as possible. When in use, it pulls in cooler air, warming the air through the heater and then circulates it through the room.

What are the benefits?

high heat retention (HHR) storage heater offers improved efficiency, better user control and reduced heat loss, when compared to a traditional storage heater. They feature smart controls & individual thermostats to deliver heat precisely when required, minimising energy wastage and can be programmed with ease. The automatic charge control then works out how much electricity it needs to store to meet that programme. The thermostat tells the heater to release more heat if it detects the room is colder than you want it. It also stops releasing heat if it detects the room is warmer than you would like.

What will it cost me?

If you are an owner-occupier and meet the grant criteria, then it will cost you absolutely nothing. The grant will cover the complete cost of the installation and any associated surveys.

Where’s the catch?

There isn’t one. Any enquiry you make will be without obligation, you don’t have to have the work done until you are completely happy with the plan.

This programme is funded through the Department of Energy Security & Net Zero and administered on behalf of Norfolk Councils by Broadland and South Norfolk Councils.
