If your utility has off-peak electricity rates, and if the difference between them and normal rates are significant, electric thermal storage heating is an option to consider. The running costs and the advantages of electric storage heaters depend largely on these factors.
If the difference in the On/Off electricity rates is considerable, that can provide lower energy bills. Part of the stored heat – sometimes estimated at 40%-60% - is lost during the storage period. New and more efficient electric storage heaters can reduce these percentages, but they can't be elliminated.
Electric thermal storage (ETS) devices are an effective technology for short-term storage of electric energy as thermal energy for heating applications. ETS devices can be used to shift electric demand (kW) away from peak times and thus achieve significant savings in electricity bills, reducing demand charges and benefiting from time-of-use rates.
»» they are prone to energy loss and can be innefective in many cases. You may consider several electric storage systems: central furnaces incorporating special ceramic blocks; storage tanks and boilers; electrically heated water systems with ceramic blocks, and so on.
Electric storage heaters vs. gas heating systems Storage heaters have advantages of their own: the pirrice and installation costs are low when compared with those of central systems, and its installation is far easier and inexpensive. Besides, compared to gas central heating systems, storage heaters have very low (next to zero) maintenance costs.
