❓ Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best alternative to storage heaters?
For most UK homes, the best alternative is a German claycore electric radiator. It heats up quickly, retains warmth efficiently, and gives full room‑by‑room control. Infrared heating panels are another excellent option if you want instant radiant warmth and very low running costs.
Are storage heaters being phased out?
Traditional storage heaters are declining because they’re expensive to run, slow to respond, and rely on outdated Economy 7 tariffs. Modern electric heating systems are now the preferred replacement for most households.
Is it worth replacing old storage heaters?
Yes — replacing old storage heaters usually results in lower running costs, better comfort, and more control. Modern systems heat up faster, maintain warmth more evenly, and don’t rely on overnight charging.
What is cheaper to run than storage heaters?
Claycore radiators and infrared panels are typically cheaper to run because they use energy more efficiently and avoid the heat‑loss issues of overnight storage. They only use power when you need heat, reducing wasted energy.
Are claycore radiators better than storage heaters?
In almost every way. Claycore radiators heat up in minutes, retain warmth for longer, offer precise thermostat control, and have a slim, modern design. Storage heaters are bulky, slow, and often run out of heat by evening.
Do I need to change my tariff if I replace storage heaters?
Not necessarily. Modern electric heating works well on standard tariffs, smart tariffs, and flexible energy plans. You’re no longer tied to Economy 7 or overnight charging.
Can I replace storage heaters without major installation work?
Yes — claycore radiators and infrared panels are simple to install. They require no plumbing, no pipework, and no structural changes. Most replacements can be completed quickly with minimal disruption.
