Before any repair work, JFB Elec carries out a detailed diagnosis to assess the condition of the unit, heating elements, refractory bricks and regulation system. This analysis makes it possible to detect visible faults, performance losses or internal malfunctions that are difficult to identify without expertise.
Thanks to this structured approach, heating repairs are targeted, efficient and adapted to the needs of the home. This diagnosis, performed by a qualified heating specialist, ensures a reliable assessment and guarantees an intervention perfectly suited to each installation.
Repair of older systems still in operation
Many older storage heaters are still in use in Belgian homes, but few heating specialists still master their repair. JFB Elec is one of the rare specialists capable of working on these ageing appliances, regardless of brand or model year.
This expertise is based on solid experience as anelectric heating installer, enabling rapid fault diagnosis and intervention even on complex or old installations. It not only helps extend the lifespan of the equipment, but also allows us to advise clients when replacement becomes more cost-effective than repair.
System restart and heating optimisation
Once the fault has been repaired, JFB Elec carries out the necessary adjustments to ensure proper night-time heat accumulation and gradual heat release during the day.
Charging, regulation and distribution settings are checked to guarantee stable comfort and controlled energy consumption. This step helps prevent future breakdowns and improves the overall performance of the system.
Frequently Asked Questions
What signs indicate that my storage heating system needs repair?
A decrease in heat output, insufficient heat accumulation, a unit that no longer heats at all or malfunctions in the regulation system are the most common signs. If any of these symptoms appear, heating repair is required to prevent the problem from worsening.
Can an old storage heating system still be repaired?
In most cases, yes. JFB Elec can work on older units from many brands, even when spare parts are no longer widely available. If repair is no longer cost-effective, advice on a suitable replacement is also provided.
Does repairing a storage heating system cost less than repairing a boiler?
In most cases, yes. The cost of repairing a storage heater is often lower than that of a boiler repair, as the appliance is simpler to diagnose and fix. The technician focuses solely on the internal components of the radiator rather than working on an entire system. A clear quotation is provided before any intervention to ensure full transparency.
Can a storage heating system work alongside other solutions such as a heat pump or air conditioning?
In most cases, yes. The cost of repairing a storage heater is often lower than that of a boiler repair, as the appliance is simpler to diagnose and fix.

Can a storage heating system work alongside other solutions such as a heat pump or air conditioning?
Yes. It is entirely possible to combine a storage heater with a heat pump or air conditioning system, depending on the home’s configuration. These solutions can provide more even heat distribution or supplementary cooling in summer. A technician evaluates the installation to determine the most efficient and cost-effective combination.
