Best storage heaters

[rodgearing]

All electric system, no gas in village presently hot water supplied by an aging oil fired Rayburn. About to install solar panels and electric heating. What storage heaters do the panel recommend. What are Stiebel Eltron like? What about RC wave any advice appreciated. Have Dimplex in the old pad bit clunky

Not that I know a lot about modern storage heaters..........Dimplex have just launched a new all singing all dancing storage heater.

Fitted a couple of replacement Stiebels recently - 30 odd year old originals that they replaced were German made, identical model replacements were Chinese made. I have to say build quality looked identical. A far as heated boxes of bricks go, they are well priced and well put together. Much cheaper than the equivalent Dimplex models.

Can't go far wrong with a Dimplex.

I've put 100s of those things together! Unidare s/htrs also. Can't think of other makes at the mo.

These new Dimplex ones use a fan to push the heat out of the bricks, so much more control on the output side:

Quantum. Low Running Costs. Total Control.

Constore did that also yrs ago....great fun getting the last brick in when putting them together!

I used these on a job over the weekend digi-line range)
Electric Heating Systems from Electrorad Ltd
Bungalow never had any heating apart from open fire in the lounge & kitchen. Had a call from the landlord today who is well chuffed.

And running cost ?

Why would I be worried about that, the customer specified I just put in a cu & radials + fitted heaters.
But as you asked the manufacturer claims they are more economical that storage heaters (so the landlord tells me)

I think dimplex are good but why not consider an electric boiler/wet system, I would go for this over storage heaters any day of the week!

Fahro heaters, easily the best replacement for night storage, very low running costs

Expensive, but the running costs easily outweigh the running costs of night storage, and they look pretty modern

Henley block installed and some new tails installed into the night store board from the 24hr supply, jobs a good-un

Dimplex all the way for me.

The new quantum range are all singing all dancing but are priced accordingly.
