    Storage heaters

    Hello all, I have a question regarding storage heaters. The new types that also need an off peak supply as well as a 24 hour supply. My first question is why do they need two supply's, and secondly can the storage heaters run only on a 24 hour supply since there is no off peak supply installed.
