Installation and repair of electric storage heating
Storage heating is an attractive solution for taking advantage of lower electricity tariffs, particularly during off-peak hours. The units store heat during the night and release it gradually throughout the day, providing a gentle and stable temperature in every room of the home. We handle the installation, configuration and maintenance of these storage heaters to ensure long-term performance and durability.

Storage heating Technical overview
Storage heating works by storing heat during the night, when reduced electricity tariffs apply. Inside the unit, refractory bricks are heated by an electric resistance and retain this heat for several hours.
Once charged, they gradually release the stored heat throughout the day, helping to maintain a stable indoor temperature. This system provides reliable, predictable operation and is particularly well suited to households seeking to control their energy consumption.
A perfectly controlled installation of your electric storage heating system
JFB Elec delivers a complete installation of your electric storage heating system, taking into account your home’s layout, the rooms to be heated and your usage habits. Each unit is precisely adjusted to ensure heat distribution that matches your daily routine.
Thanks to our experience with different system types—whether storage-based or inertia-based—we guarantee a durable, high-performance installation that is also visually well integrated, with a discreet and harmonious design.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is electric storage heating suitable for all types of homes?
This system is particularly well suited to well-insulated homes, where heat can be stored and released efficiently. Depending on the type of storage heater selected, our heating specialist determines the optimal power output to maintain gentle temperatures and consistent comfort throughout the property.
Is storage heating compatible with an older electrical installation?
In most cases, yes. However, a heating specialist must check the capacity of the existing electrical circuit to ensure it can support the appliance’s power requirements. If necessary, the installation can be upgraded to guarantee safe and standards-compliant operation.
Does storage heating consume less energy than a conventional electric radiator?
Yes, because this type of system operates mainly during off-peak hours, when electricity prices are lower. It stores heat at night and releases it during the day, reducing consumption during more expensive periods. Compared with some convection radiators, operation is more stable and can significantly lower energy bills while maintaining consistent comfort.
Can an old storage heater be replaced with a more recent model?
Yes, replacement is often straightforward and provides access to more modern technologies, such as improved inertia, dynamic heat distribution, slim formats and better internal insulation. A new model offers real energy savings, improved design, gentler and more stable heat, and better control over energy costs.
JFB Elec assesses compatibility, carries out the installation and handles configuration to ensure immediate operation.
Are there different types of storage heaters depending on the needs of the home?
Yes, several types of units are available depending on the volume to be heated, the desired level of inertia and the preferred design. Some models store larger amounts of heat for intensive use, while others focus on faster, more dynamic heat release. The choice depends on room layout and the level of comfort required.
