Modern overnight storage heaters

[Franky Four Fingers]

The in-laws are soon to be moving and going in to an apartment with just electric heating. It seems these things have come on over the years and these modern ones have this super duper thermal stuff in them which are better at releasing the heat for longer. They need to do a complete refit so perfect time. Can anyone recommend a make and model please…there seems quite a lot to look at?

I’ll check with the wife. We had to replace one in her rental property a year ago. It looked very smart and heats the whole flat - I think it used thermal bricks that weighed a ton - fitted in situ I seem to remember.

combined with economy 7 helps with the bills

There's a potential problem with Economy 7

We have a single rointe rad at home in a room without a traditional radiator and it works well. We are furnishing a cottage which also has electricity only and we will be looking at more from Rointe to replace the very old storage heaters there. They do a lot of wifi stuff too so that will be useful.

I had them in my penthouse apartment, and hated them, but no other choices other than electric allowed.! The only good thing was that everyone below had their heating on, so it felt like I had continuous underfloor heating throughout winters.

Rointe are a decent make.
There’s a few brands selling the wifi electric rads. All have to be upto current spec lot20 I think now

i have had the dimplex quantum ones for about 8 years and they are a big improvement on the 'dumb' ones.
they are compliant for rental as they can be programmed to heat when you want them to and they learn how much to charge up overnight, they are not perfect but i have learned how to influence the input/output so i hardly ever have to use the boost element. though the temp you set is sometimes over what is output so i have a room thermometer and use that as a guide so often 19° on the heater gives 21.5° in the room so adjust accordingly.
Think the new models run on an app
