What is a Storage Heater? A Storage Heater is an electric heater composed of electrical heating elements surrounded by ceramic bricks, which are further surrounded by a layer of insulation, and then the heater cover. The heaters consume electricity at the cheaper off-peak night time rate to heat these ceramic bricks. They ‘store’ this heat until

Storage heaters are typically composed of clay bricks which serves as a heat storage. There are electrical heating elements embedded between the bricks which can be switched on to heat the bricks and thus to store energy.  The stored heat is given off continuously (through thermal radiation and convection. To speed up the heat transfer, storage heaters
