Electric storage heaters provide a practical heating solution for homes without access to gas, with modern systems offering improved efficiency, temperature control and more responsive heating. PHR provides advisory-led electric storage heater installation services for homeowners across North Wales, Cheshire, the Wirral and the wider North West, helping assess whether modern storage heaters are suitable for a property and how they integrate with existing electrical systems. Our approach focuses on clear advice, compliant installations and long-term performance so homeowners can upgrade their heating systems with confidence. While this page focuses on residential installations, PHR also supports organisations exploring electric heating solutions across the region.
Electric storage heaters are heating systems that store heat during off-peak electricity periods, typically overnight, and release that heat gradually throughout the day.
Homes that rely on electric heating commonly use these systems, often combining them with time-of-use electricity tariffs. Modern storage heaters are designed to provide improved temperature control and more efficient heat retention compared with older models.
By storing heat during cheaper electricity periods, storage heaters can help manage heating costs while maintaining comfortable indoor temperatures.
Electric storage heaters are often suitable for homes without access to mains gas or where electric heating systems are already in place.
They may also be appropriate for homeowners looking to replace older, less efficient storage heaters with modern systems that offer improved temperature control and energy efficiency.
Electric storage heaters may be suitable where there is:
