A storage heater is an electrical device which stores the thermal energy when base load electricity is available at lower cost generally at night times and releases this heat at day times when it is required. Heat is stored in the clay bricks or other ceramic material, of concrete walls, or of water containers.
Types:
Convector Storage Heaters:
These heaters have a convector heater in addition to a standard storage heater system. This storage heater is ideal for a living room that has higher occupancy.
Fan Assisted Storage Heaters:
A fan is incorporated in to the heater which takes air through the heater and discharges it through the vent at the base of the heater. These heaters are highly insulated and they are most efficient at storing heat. Fan storage heaters are ideal for home and office use. The fan can be controlled with a separate thermostat control, which is supplied with the storage heater.

Advantages of Storage Heaters:
- They take up less space when storage heater is incorporated into the building's floor plan.
- By turning of gas and otherhttp://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gif storage heaters as an economy measure the house can be made cold at the night times. But when night storage heater are on at night, the house is still warm at those times.
- The initial costs and the installation of these storage heaters is easy when compared to gas fired boilers, piping and radiators.
- Night storage heaters when compared to central heating systems requires low maintenance and operating costs.
- Using storage heaters allows houses to be sited in areas where natural gas distribution systems are not available with out forcing the home owners to pay high electrical bills.
The above are the details of various types of storage heaters and their benefits.

Storage heaters aimed to stockpile heat spawn from electric energy. I am sharing some tips for the use of storage heaters.
Set the input switch to standardize heat overnight. If your home is of good insulation material like mud, bricks and not of wood than you do not need to use heaters at high settings.
In day time the output switch control should be off. For long term absence periods set the settings at low to save energy.
Set the thermostat to maintain a constant temperature in the room. If your electric storage heater has a thermostat, press the up or down buttons next to the temperature display to adjust the temperature to your liking. A thermostat will help to regulate the temperature and prevent unnecessary heat waste.
Storage heaters are domestic appliances, which help us in warming our homes at an amount that is quite affordable. We can make of them use them to keep our homes at a conducive temperature , especially when the weather is bitingly cold and everywhere seems to be freezing.
