serviceElectric storage heating maintenance
Although electric storage heating requires little maintenance, regular checks help ensure optimal operation and prevent performance losses that may occur over time. JFB Elec supports private individuals with a complete inspection of their systems in order to guarantee stable heat, controlled energy consumption and a reliable installation throughout the year.

Over the years, refractory bricks and heating elements may wear out or lose efficiency, reducing night-time heat storage capacity. During each maintenance visit, JFB Elec checks their condition, level of wear and ability to retain and release heat.
This step helps anticipate breakdowns, improve appliance performance and ensure sufficient heat accumulation during the night.
Control of regulation and settings
Regulation plays a key role in the operation of storage heating systems, as it determines the amount of heat stored and how it is released. JFB Elec checks thermostats, charging settings and distribution parameters to ensure operation is consistent with household needs.
Intervention by a qualified heating specialist guarantees precise adjustment in line with the technical requirements of this type of system, contributing to more stable heating and better-controlled electricity consumption.
Cleaning, safety and system optimisation
Regular maintenance also ensures that the appliance operates safely. JFB Elec inspects electrical connections, the overall condition of the installation and carries out the internal cleaning required to prevent dust or residue build-up.
Thanks to its experience in electric heating installation, our company can also identify useful adjustments or adaptations to improve overall system performance. And if your home combines a storage heater with a heat pump or air conditioningsystem, JFB Elec checks the consistency of the settings to ensure harmonised operation between the different systems.
This step helps preserve system durability and maintain quiet, efficient operation throughout the year.
Frequently Asked Questions
How often should electric storage heating be serviced?
Maintenance every two to three years is generally sufficient to ensure proper operation. However, in homes where the system is old or heavily used, more frequent inspections help prevent performance losses and extend system lifespan.
Why should the regulation of a storage heater be checked?
Poorly adjusted regulation can result in insufficient heat accumulation at night or inadequate heat release during the day. By having the settings checked, you ensure more stable heat, improved responsiveness and energy consumption adapted to the needs of the home.
Does maintaining a storage heater require dismantling the unit?
A full maintenance service may sometimes involve opening the unit to inspect bricks and heating elements, but this intervention remains simple and requires no heavy work. It is carried out quickly and results in a more reliable and higher-performing installation.
