I'm looking at buying a flat that currently uses old electric storage heaters for space heating (building has no gas), and was wondering how do modern electric heating systems compare with GCH for running costs - past experience of storage heaters hasn't been good.
Are modern storage heaters capable of storing enough heat from the overnight charge so that you don't need to top them up in the evening?
Are electic wet central heating systems better than storage heaters, assuming a large enough storage cyclinder is used?
I generally only heat in the evening for about 3 - 4 hours in the coldest months, so would it perhaps be more economical to use non storage heaters and a conventional electricity tariff rather than economy 7 and a storage system?
