Storage Heaters

[Joeboy]

Taken a while to get round to it, fitted last night sucked up 5.125 kWh on the first charge

That's a nice neat wee unit, long may it output in the silent no fuss way of these devices. We are going to be having a smart meter fitted at No1 son house. And will be hive plugging the Two SH's he currently has. Also thinking about solar I boosting his HWT to ensure all his PV generation is being used on site.

SWMBO just pointed this out and said "any use for one of the lads"?

Good find, I’m sticking to the single brick width heaters!

They are my faves too. Pack quite a punch in a discreet package. Crazy weather the noo. Was on a sunlounger on Sunday, been slowly knocking back or fully off for most of the SH's. Then this!



WBS fired up. Mince & doughballs along with mixed veg and a pan of cabbage all cooking away. Can't do that on a CH radiator.

Yea had the woodburner on last night, burning offcuts of non treated timber that were in the garage, scraps that I thought would come in handy but now stop progress…

Really nice, had 4kW solar into the storage heaters entire afternoon.

Will take a 1 day WBS run though to bring the whole place up to temp.

House has used under 10kWh grid power in the fortnight we've been away.. Thats under a quid.... (excl s/c).

That is a PB any way I look at it.

Guesstimate of about £40 tween FIT & GF WT in that timeframe. That is some seriously trippy s**t.

Knock £19 off for standing charge and I'm very early to the VB charging (£20) for our little Scottish home environment.

Just in time getting colder so time for some heat in the house

When I downgrade the SH's after the ashp is fitted it will be the easily hidden 800W units I'll keep. I'd love to know how your heater made it through the years, just Brilliant!

I think storage heaters are bomb proof if you follow the manual and don’t cover the vent, I’ve been in houses that are 30 years old that I fitted when I was an apprentice, and the front cover has a slight discolouration, which I would say now is easily resolved with high temp rattle can spray paint.

Most on here are controlled by smart plugs, so fault finding is a doddle, it on, see power draw etc etc

Hybrid heating rules!

I agree, excellent bits of kit especially with app control added.
