Replace Storage Heaters with our Modern Electric Radiators
Upgrade to efficient, low-maintenance heating designed for your home and lifestyle.
What is Electric Storage Heating?
Night storage heaters were made for off-peak tariffs like Economy 7, storing heat overnight to release during the day.
But this outdated tech releases heat whether you need it or not—often too warm in the morning and too cold by evening. With rising energy costs, many are switching to more efficient options.
More People are Making the Switch
Electric storage heaters were once popular, but they come with common frustrations. That’s why many are now choosing modern options like premium electric radiators.
-
Inconsistent Heating
Overnight heat is often used up too soon, leaving rooms cold by evening.
-
Energy Waste
They release heat continuously, even when you're not home to benefit from it.
-
High Running Costs
Rising electricity prices have made electric storage heating less economical than it used to be.
-
Limited Control
Most models don’t let you adjust the heat output to match your daily routine.
Recognising It’s Time for a Change
It might be time to replace your storage heater if:
You're paying too much for too little comfort.
Your home’s warm in the morning but chilly by evening.
It’s hard to control or adjust the heat when you need it.

Hot Water Solutions When Replacing Storage Heaters
When replacing storage heaters with radTherm™ Electric Radiators, consider your hot water system. If you use a hot water tank on Economy
7 tariffs, we recommend fitting an immersion timer to heat water only when needed – usually an hour in the morning and evening—saving energy and costs.
For a more advanced option, pair radTherm™ radiators with a Sunamp Heat Battery for instant hot water with minimal energy use. Both offer efficient, low-maintenance alternatives to traditional storage heaters.
Questions About Storage Heaters
Your storage heater questions answered.
What's wrong with electric storage heaters?
Traditional electric storage heaters, though once innovative, fall short for modern living. They charge overnight and release heat throughout the day, often making homes too warm in the morning and cold by evening. This lack of flexibility can cause discomfort and raise energy bills, especially for those with varied schedules. Older models are also bulky, inefficient, and lose heat easily.
A smarter alternative is radTherm™ Electric Radiators. They offer precise room-by-room control, sleek modern designs, and advanced technology for maximum energy efficiency.
Are modern storage heaters any good?
Modern storage heaters have improved heat retention and more control, but still rely on overnight charging and gradual heat release - often not matching daily heating needs. Many find this outdated approach frustrating, as it lacks on-demand warmth, especially during cold spells or in the evenings.
For a truly modern solution, radTherm™ Electric Radiators go further. With advanced technology and smart controls, they let you heat your home exactly when and where it's needed.
Will Economy 7 be replaced?
Economy 7 is still available, but the UK government has indicated that it is being phased out. As the energy market evolves, more flexible tariffs and dynamic pricing linked to renewable energy are becoming more common.
Switching to radTherm™ Electric Radiators makes sense in this shifting landscape. Unlike storage heaters that rely on Economy 7, radTherm™ radiators offer on-demand heating and aren’t tied to a specific tariff. Their advanced efficiency works seamlessly with any energy plan, including those designed for renewables.
What should I replace storage heaters with?
If you're replacing electric storage heating, upgrading to radTherm™ Electric Radiators is a smart choice. They deliver modern, on-demand heating with excellent energy efficiency, giving you full control over your comfort. Unlike traditional night storage heaters that release heat indiscriminately, radTherm™ radiators use smart controls and thermostats to heat each room only when needed.
For hot water, pair them with a Sunamp Heat Battery for efficient, instant hot water. Together, they provide a complete, flexible heating system built for modern living.
How easy is it to replace storage heaters?
Replacing storage heaters with radTherm™ Electric Radiators is simple. Most homes with existing electric storage systems already have the necessary wiring, so installation is usually quick and hassle-free. radTherm™ units are designed to fit seamlessly into your home with minimal disruption.
