High Heat Retention Storage Heaters

If your home relies on outdated electric heaters or lacks access to the mains gas grid, upgrading to High Heat Retention Storage Heaters (HHRSH) could transform your comfort, energy efficiency, and heating costs. These modern electric heaters are designed to store heat during off-peak hours and release it gradually throughout the day, providing steady warmth when you need it most, without the high costs often associated with traditional electric heating.

 
Thanks to government-backed energy schemes, many households are now eligible for free installation of energy-efficient storage heaters, making this upgrade more accessible and affordable than ever.

Key Benefits of HHRSH

What Are High Heat Retention Storage Heaters (HHRSH)?

High Heat Retention Storage Heaters are an advanced form of electric heating. Unlike older storage heaters, which were bulky and inefficient, HHR models use smart controls, better insulation, and improved thermal bricks to retain and release heat more effectively.

They charge overnight by drawing electricity when demand is low (and electricity is cheaper), storing that heat internally. Throughout the day, the heaters release warmth gradually, keeping your home at a consistent and comfortable temperature. Many models also feature built-in fans, smart thermostats, and boost functions, allowing for greater control and more efficient heat use.

These systems are perfect for off-gas homes and households looking to reduce their reliance on direct electric heaters, panel heaters, or inefficient portable units.

How Does It work?

Storage heaters are an efficient way to heat homes, especially those not connected to the gas grid. They work by storing heat during off-peak hours, usually overnight when electricity is cheaper, and then releasing it gradually throughout the day.

Inside the heater, special ceramic bricks absorb and store the heat generated by electric elements. During the day, this stored heat is released slowly into the room, providing a steady, consistent warmth. Many modern storage heaters come with controls that allow you to adjust the heat release to match your daily routine and comfort needs.


By using cheaper, off-peak electricity and spreading the heat over time, storage heaters help reduce energy costs while keeping your home warm and comfortable.

Why Switch to Storage Heaters?

Switching to modern storage heaters is a smart choice for homes without access to gas heating. They make the most of cheaper, off-peak electricity by storing heat overnight and releasing it throughout the day, helping to lower your energy bills. Storage heaters provide consistent, reliable warmth, and with advanced controls, you can tailor the heat to suit your lifestyle. They are easy to install, require minimal maintenance, and offer an efficient, cost-effective heating solution that reduces your carbon footprint while keeping your home cozy all year round.
