HELP PLEASE:ELECTRIC PANEL HEATERS/STORAGE HEATERS

[JDM1985]

First post-apologies if this question is stupid!!

I have recently bought my first flat (am still at home).

The flat currently has electric storage heaters but they do not work well at all...

Unfortunately installing central heating isn't an option-so I need to decide on electric panel heaters or storage heaters.

Having looked at prices-storage heaters are clearly much more expensive? Is this becuse they are much better than a standard electric panel heater?/cheaper? etc.

Thanks in advance

What are the symptoms of the problem(s) with them?

They're potentially cheaper, because they run on cheap-rate (i.e. off-peak) power. However, it's possible to heat them up too much, which counteracts the benefit.
