What are high heat retaining storage heaters?
High heat retaining storage heaters are modern electric heaters designed to store energy overnight on cheaper tariffs and release it slowly throughout the day. Unlike old storage heaters, they are highly insulated, programmable, and far more efficient, keeping your home warmer and helping you reduce your energy bills.
Can I get high heat retaining storage heaters for free?
Yes. Through the government’s ECO4 scheme, many households are eligible for high heat retaining storage heater grants. These grants usually cover the full cost of installation, although in some cases a small contribution may be required.
Who qualifies for high heat retaining storage heater grants?
You may qualify if:
Your home currently uses electric room heaters, old storage heaters, or solid fuel.
You receive certain means-tested benefits such as Universal Credit or Pension Credit, or you are referred by your local council under ECO Flex.
Your home has an EPC rating of D to G.
Why are high heat retaining storage heaters better than older models?
Modern high heat retaining storage heaters offer:
Much better heat retention thanks to advanced insulation.
Programmable controls so you can decide when heat is released.
Cheaper running costs as they make the most of off-peak electricity.
A warmer and more comfortable home.
Are high heat retaining storage heaters suitable if I do not have gas?
Yes. High heat retaining storage heaters are an excellent option for properties without access to the gas network. For many flats and all-electric homes, ECO4 funding provides these heaters as the main heating system, giving a more affordable and efficient alternative to plug-in electric heaters.
How are high heat retaining storage heaters installed?
An approved installer will remove your old heaters and fit the new models. The process usually takes one to two days and causes very little disruption.
Do they come with a guarantee?
Yes. All installations under ECO4 must be carried out by TrustMark-registered installers and meet PAS 2030/2035 standards. High heat retaining storage heaters typically come with a five to ten year manufacturer’s warranty, along with installer-backed guarantees.
Will high heat retaining storage heater grants save me money?
Yes. Compared with old storage heaters or plug-in electric heaters, high heat retaining storage heaters are far more efficient. By storing heat overnight and releasing it gradually, they can reduce electricity bills by hundreds of pounds a year while keeping the home more comfortable.
Are there any other grants available for storage heaters?
At present, the ECO4 scheme is the main way to access high heat retaining storage heater grants. Other government schemes, such as the Great British Insulation Scheme, focus on insulation rather than heating upgrades.
How do I apply?
You can apply through an approved ECO4 installer. They will check your eligibility, arrange a free home survey, and manage all the paperwork so you can have new high heat retaining storage heaters installed at no cost.
