Q: How do storage heaters know when to come on?

Storage heaters consume energy at night which gets transformed in heat and slowly released during the day. They run on an economy tariff known as, Economy 7 tariff, which is much cheaper at night. Storage heaters are wired to a separate fuse box known as the E7 switch which can identify when the tariff changes and when to come on and off

These guys are the best! Super helpful, knowledgeable, and honest! I had a problem with my storage heater and instead of coming out and charging me to just reset the thermostat, Yassin walked me through it over video chat which saved me a house visit fee. I’ve never encountered a business so willing to help! Will definitely be giving them a call for any other storage heater needs in the future

Very fast response when i emailed them asking them to fix my storage heater. The electrician Yassin was very friendly and gave some helpful advice when deciding whether or not the storage heater actually needed replacing. Price of service was reasonable as he also helped to fix my bathroom fan which was very loose and noisy previously. I will look to use your services again in future. Thanks.
