Modern storage heaters and immersion heaters offer a reliable, energy-efficient, and cost-effective alternative to gas central heating, especially for properties without a gas supply or those on an Economy 7 tariff. We provide a complete, end-to-end service, ensuring your new system is perfectly matched to your needs and installed to the highest safety standards.
Why Upgrade Your Heating and Hot Water Systems?
- Energy Efficiency: Modern storage heaters have vastly improved insulation and smart controls, allowing them to retain heat for longer and release it more efficiently. Immersion heaters with timers let you heat water during off-peak hours, saving money on your energy bills.
- Superior Control: Unlike older models, modern storage heaters feature digital programmers and thermostats, giving you precise control over when and how much heat is released. This means no more wasted energy and a more comfortable home.
- Reliable Hot Water: Immersion heaters are a simple, reliable way to heat your water. They are a popular primary heating method for homes with electric-only heating and serve as an excellent back-up for properties with a gas boiler.
- Safety and Compliance: Both storage heaters and immersion heaters must be installed on a dedicated circuit with the correct safety protection. Our professional installations ensure your system is fully compliant with the latest UK electrical wiring regulations (BS 7671).
