  1. 1
    High heat retention storage heatersIndicative cost: £800 - £1,600

    Modern storage heaters have better insulation and are easier to control than the older type in the property. Ask for a quotation for new, high heat retention heaters with automatic charge and output controls. As installations should be in accordance with the current regulations covering electrical wiring, only a qualified electrician should carry out the installation. It is best to obtain advice from a qualified heating engineer. Ask the engineer to explain the options which might also include switching to other forms of electric heating.
