Storage Heaters

Welcome to the forum.

What makes you think that any 1.9kw heater is the equivalent of a 3kw heater? All electrical heaters are 100 efficient. The cost advantage of a storage heater is that it uses off-peak electricity.

2kW or 3kW fan heaters can be bought for around £15 and oil filled radiators from £50 upwards. These produce EXACTLY the same heat output, for the same running cost, as ANY other electrical heater - including Fischer.

I appreciate you are new on this forum, but if you do a 'forum search'(at the top of the page) you will find plenty of posts on Fischer heaters.

Please be aware that a clay core, magic dust, liquid gold, baby oil, fairy water or other exotic filling does not make them storage heaters. They run on full price peak rate leccy,and cost exactly the same to run and produce the same amount of heat as an equivalent sized £50 one from Argos, B&Q or anywhere else.

1.9kw is not equivalent to 3kw, if your room needs a 3kw heater to get warm and keep it warm then 1,9kw wont be enough. It will stay on virtually continuously as it won't warm the room enough to trigger the thermostat and you'll be cold as well
