Replace electric storage rad system

How do you have storage heaters in your bathroom????

We've not been able to get any that are bathroom safe and just have a wall mounted fan heater operated by a cord. We rarely use it but if it was possible to get a storage heater in there.......

There are more modern storage heaters out there, and i believe that the new ones are slimmer and more programmable.

If you don't have gas (like us) they will almost certainly be your cheapest and most straight forward option.

Wow thanks for that, I didn't know you could get storage heaters for the bathroom....... expensive though, not sure it would be worth forking out for...... we have a very narrow bathroom too so might struggle for space.

It is 100% guaranteed that these heaters will give out no more heat(for the same running costs) than a £20 fan heater or oil filled radiator from Argos.

We have a wide variety of products which vary in quality and performance, Prices can start from £169 inc Vat. However, as a rough guide including VAT (others exclude it) and delivery:-
2 bed house - (4 to 5 radiators supply only) £800 to £1200
3 bed house - (5 to 7 radiators supply only) £1200 to £1900
4 bed house - (7 to 9 radiators supply only) £1750 to £2500

So £200+ for each radiator. It really is a joke.

Look up Kalirel on this forum. There are companies spring up all the time selling these vastly overpriced electrical heating systems on claims that imply they produce more heat for your bucks - they don't.

Earlier this year we replaced our old Creda storage heaters with a new range from Dimplex called Duoheat. They work really well as they combine a storage heater with a radiant heater. Not sure exactly how they work but they offer better comfort than our old Creda storage heaters and the electricity bills are lower.
