Why do storage heaters have two switches?
The off-peak switch is just a switch as it has a dedicated electricity circuit. The on-peak switch has a fuse as it is part of another electricity circuit. During the summer months or when heating is not required due to absence from home, switch both switches to the off position.
How do storage heater dials work?
The input control tells the heater how much heat to store up during the night. The higher the input setting the more heat it will store and the more electricity it will use. If you set it too high for the size of the room it has to heat, or for the time of year, you will be wasting money.
Do storage heaters charge during the day?
Most storage heaters will only charge up at night, so you can leave the input setting without danger of using expensive day-rate electricity. The controls also have an output setting that allows you to regulate the amount of heat that the storage heater releases.
What is the dial on the side of my storage heater?
These are two dials called input and output. The input dial controls how much heat your storage heater will store overnight. If it’s not too cold then it should be set on low, maybe number ‘4’ on the dial. The output dial controls how much heat is given off during the day.
Can you turn off storage heaters during the day?
Over the summer, if it’s warm enough, you might not need any heating on at all. If that’s the case, switch your storage heater off at the wall. This will stop it from absorbing energy overnight, as well giving out heat during the day.
Can I leave storage heaters on all the time?
If it’s not particularly cold, or you’ll be out of the house for most of the day, you don’t need to set the input to maximum because there’s no point storing so much heat. Most storage heaters will only charge up at night, so you can leave the input setting without danger of using expensive day-rate electricity.
Can you turn storage heaters off?
Turn your storage heaters off altogether If it’s apparent you’re not going to need your storage heaters at all, there’s no harm in turning them off for the summer. With the heaters switched off at the wall, they can’t draw any power, which saves you both energy and money.
What is off-peak switch?
# One switch is for the “off- peak” water heating during the night and one for extra “on-peak” water heating during the day. # Keep the off-peak switch on all the time. This means that a tank of hot water will be heated during the night time “off-peak”.
Do you still require an off peak to power storage heaters?
You do need to be on an off peak tariff which requires a separate off-peak electrical circuit and meter dedicated to operating the storage heaters. This is only switched on during the off-peak time period which is only at certain times of the day or night dictated by your electricity.
