A Guide to Understanding Storage Heaters and How They Work
A storage heater is an electric heating appliance that stores heat during off-peak hours (usually at night) and releases it during peak hours (usually during the day). They work by using electricity to heat up ceramic bricks inside the heater, which then release the stored heat into the room. This means that the heater can be used throughout
