Never happened.
Was just a scare story in the anti-EU press in 2014
Take the EU change to kettle power a few years back.
Just to clarify this, in April 2018 all 3 heaters panels were stripped and resprayed, at the same time they were checked over, all 7 elements checked with a clamp meter, repaired and fully functional. My tenants had stated they could not supply heat all day at that time, they quickly learnt to close the vents before they retired to bed and not open them until they finished work. Weekends they could not supply heat all day and right from the beginning had to supplement with additional heating in evenings.That would reduce the energy used, hence cost and heat.
So comparison not valid.
It's also worth noting most of them have built in timing functions so will happily work correctly on a 24h circuit which is at cheap rate overnight. Also there are RF versions so WiFi compatible too.OP - be aware that modern storage heaters are LOT20 compliant which means they need an E7 supply and a 24 x 7 supply.
You will probably need to get an additional outlet for your heaters

Yes that is part ofYes but you have to set the timer so that the storage heater isn't heating up using peak hours costs ...............

Correct, the installer will be aware of this and either make the required changes or arrange for them to be made.Back to the OP - if he has a storage heater connected to an E7 supply they simply can't change the old heater to a new LOT 20 unit.....................
Basically I did my own and got one of my employers to officiate the electrics (I'm a non qualified self employed subcontractor)Thanks, what was the cost for the installation you were charged?
