How can I use Economy 7 storage heaters efficiently?

  • Economy 7

To use Economy 7 storage heaters efficiently, charge them overnight and adjust the settings based on the weather and your heating needs.

Most storage heaters have two controls labelled ‘input’ and ‘output’ (sometimes called boost):

  • Input controls how much heat is stored overnight
  • Output controls how quickly heat is released during the day

Use a higher input setting during colder weather and a lower setting in milder weather. Lower output settings help stored heat last longer throughout the day and into the evening.

To avoid using expensive daytime electricity, avoid using the boost setting where possible.
