Storage Heaters – Thermal Storage Heating for Comfort and Savings

What are storage heaters and how do they work

Storage heaters accumulate thermal energy overnight when electricity is cheaper (off-peak tariff), then gradually release it throughout the day. The heater's core contains special ceramic or magnesite bricks that retain heat for hours after the heating elements switch off. This principle enables significant savings on electricity bills while maintaining comfortable room temperatures continuously.

Dynamic vs static heat release

Modern storage heaters offer a combination of static and dynamic heating modes. Static heat release works passively through the heater's casing, while a dynamic fan accelerates heat distribution when you need to warm up a room quickly. Brands like Elnur and Magnohrom specialize in this type of heating and offer models with precise control over both functions.

Choosing the right power output for your space

The basic rule is you need approximately 1 kW of power per 10 m² of well-insulated room. For a 60 m² space, a model like MAGNOHROM TA Peć 6 kw is an excellent choice. For poorly insulated spaces or high ceilings, add 10-20% to your calculated power requirement. Underestimating the required output means the heater won't be able to store enough heat overnight.

Single-phase or three-phase power supply

Heaters up to 3.6 kW typically run on single-phase supply (230V), while higher-output models require a three-phase installation (400V). Before purchasing, verify which type of connection exists in your property – retrofitting three-phase wiring can be expensive. Storage heaters from brands like Elnur and Postolje are available in both power supply variants.

Programmable controls and smart features

Quality storage heaters include built-in weekly or daily programmers that allow setting different temperatures for day and night, weekdays and weekends. Some models offer Wi-Fi connectivity for remote control via mobile app. These features enable even greater savings – the heater can automatically reduce charging during weekends when you're away from home.

What to watch for during installation

Storage heaters are heavy – a 6 kW unit can weigh over 100 kg due to the storage bricks. They must be installed on a solid floor that can support this weight and at a safe distance from combustible materials. Ensure adequate space for free airflow around the heater – never cover ventilation openings with curtains or furniture.
