Electric heating stove energy storage

Why should you choose Steffes electric thermal storage?

SMARTER. CLEANER. GREENER. Steffes Electric Thermal Storage systems work smarter, cleaner and greener to make your home more comfortable. Exceptional engineering coupled with efficient, off-peak operation lowers energy usage and costs by storing heat and utilizing energy during the right time of the day.

How do electric thermal storage heaters work?

Electric Thermal Storage Heaters Mechanism Electric Thermal Storage Heaters use low-priced electricity (off-peak periods) to store heat in their ceramic bricks; stored heat is then used later, typically during daytime. If the difference in the On/Off electricity rates is considerable, that can provide lower energy bills.

What is an electric thermal storage heater?

An electric thermal storage heater is a stand-alone, off-peak heating system that eliminates the need for a backup fossil fuel heating system that is wall-mounted and looks a bit like a radiator that contains a ‘bank’ of specially designed, high-density ceramic bricks. These bricks can store vast amounts of heat for extended periods of time.

Do storage heaters use electricity?

Electric storage heaters are the most common type of electric heating. They usually pair with electricity tariffs that supply electricity at cheaper rates at certain times of the day. Typically, this is overnight, which is why they’re also known as ‘night storage heaters’. However, storage heaters can use electricity to heat your home at any time.

What is thermal energy storage?

Thermal energy storage, also known as thermal stores, are vessels used to store excess heat. They are a way of storing and managing renewable heat until it is needed. Heated water is usually stored in a large, well-insulated cylinder often called a buffer or accumulator tank.

Is electric thermal storage heating a good option?

If your utility has off-peak electricity rates, and if the difference between them and normal rates are significant, electric thermal storage heating is an option to consider. The running costs and the advantages of electric storage heaters depend largely on these factors.
