REPLACE YOUR NIGHT STORAGE HEATERS.
Thinking about upgrading, changing or removing your old night storage heaters? GermanRadGuy offers supply-only and supply-and-fit quotations for modern electric clay-core radiators — from one room to a whole flat or house.
TYPICAL NIGHT STORAGE HEATER
If your old night storage heaters are bulky, difficult to control or no longer meeting your needs, we can talk you through a modern electric radiator replacement. Tell us which rooms you want to heat and whether you need your old units removed.
YOU NEED A LIVE SUPPLY
Night storage heaters usually run from off-peak circuits. Replacement radiators need a suitable full-time live electrical supply. Your energy supplier can advise on tariff or metering changes, and a qualified electrician should check the circuits.
WHOLE FLAT OR HOUSE?
Use the multi-room planner to list as many rooms as you need. This is ideal if you want to change all the night storage heaters in a flat, bungalow or full house.
Tell us what you have
Let us know how many night storage heaters you want to change and which rooms they heat. You can add several rooms to our estimator.
Remove and replace
Choose supply only or ask us to quote for removing and disposing of your old heaters and installing the new radiators. Older units may need specialist handling.
Check full-time power
Old night storage heater circuits may only be live overnight. New direct-acting electric radiators need a suitable electricity supply that is available when you want heat — they do not charge overnight.
From one heater to a whole home. We can discuss night storage heater disposal, radiator choices, electrical supply requirements and your preferred installation approach.
Plan multiple roomsUPGRADING YOUR OLD NIGHT STORAGE HEATERS?
If you're wondering how to change night storage heaters in a flat or house, start with a free virtual survey. We can discuss replacing one heater or planning a full-house changeover, and help you decide whether supply only or supply and fit is right for you.
1. What happens to the old heaters?
We can include disconnecting, removing and disposing of your existing storage heaters in a supply-and-fit quotation. Some older units are very heavy and may require specialist handling or disposal; we will assess that before confirming the work.
2. Do I need new sockets?
Many Economy 7 storage heater circuits only receive power during off-peak hours. New direct-acting German electric radiators need a suitable supply available whenever heating is required. Your energy supplier can advise on metering or tariff arrangements; an appropriately qualified electrician must assess whether existing wiring or sockets can be safely adapted.
3. Will they still charge overnight?
No. Our clay-core electric radiators are direct-acting heaters: they warm your rooms when switched on and controlled by their thermostats. They do not store a full overnight charge in the way traditional night storage heaters do.
4. What will replacing them cost?
The cost depends on radiator sizes, how many rooms need heating, electrical upgrades, safe removal of old units and delivery or installation location. Your virtual survey helps us prepare an itemised quotation rather than guessing from room size alone.
PREPARE FOR YOUR FREE VIRTUAL HEATING SURVEY
Tell us your postcode, whether you need one radiator or a whole-property replacement, your current tariff if known, and the size of each room. Photos of your existing heaters are helpful. You don't need to inspect or alter any electrical wiring yourself.

GOOD QUESTIONS, CLEAR ANSWERS
FREQUENTLY
ASKED QUESTIONS.
Everything you need to know before changing your heating.
Can I change my night storage heaters without changing all my heating?+
Yes, you can ask about replacing one storage heater or several rooms. A whole-house plan can be considered during a virtual survey.
Will my existing Economy 7 sockets work with new electric radiators?+
They may need changes. The sockets or circuits must have a suitable full-time supply. Your energy supplier can advise on meter/tariff arrangements, while a qualified electrician should inspect the wiring and determine the safe solution.
Do you remove and dispose of old night storage heaters?+
Removal and disposal can be included in a supply-and-fit enquiry. We will first confirm the age, quantity and access arrangements because some older units need special handling.
Can I request a virtual survey for every room in my flat or house?+
Yes. Add multiple rooms to the estimator and request a free virtual survey so we can discuss your full replacement plan.
Are these the same as traditional storage heaters?+
Not quite. These are direct-acting electric clay-core radiators. The core holds some warmth after the element switches off, but they are not designed to charge up overnight and heat all day like traditional Economy 7 storage heaters.
Are clay-core radiators cheaper to run?+
At point of use, resistance electric heaters turn roughly the same amount of electricity into heat. Better thermostats and schedules may reduce wasted heating, but running cost depends on wattage, hours used, tariff and your home. We would not promise automatic savings over every other electric heater.
Can you supply and install the radiators?+
We offer supply-only and installation quotations, with optional removal and disposal of existing heaters where arranged. Electrical work must be assessed and performed by a suitably qualified electrician.
What is covered by the guarantee?+
Product information describes a 30-year guarantee on the heater element/core and a separate two-year thermostat guarantee. Please ask us to confirm the precise terms and eligibility before purchase.
How do I know which size to choose?+
Use our room-size guide for an initial shortlist. To select safely and comfortably, consider insulation, windows, outside walls, ceiling height and desired temperature. We can discuss these details when quoting.
Do you offer smart or app-controlled models?+
Optional app-controlled radiators may be available. Ask us to confirm compatible models, app functions and connectivity for your chosen product before ordering.
Can off-peak night-storage circuits power the new radiators?+
The replacement radiators do not charge overnight. Old circuits may only be energised during off-peak hours. Your energy supplier can discuss the meter and supply arrangements, while a qualified electrician must assess any changes to the home wiring and sockets before installation.
Can you arrange removal of gas or oil central heating?+
Tell us if you need the existing boiler, radiators, pipework or oil tank decommissioned. We can assess the job and discuss specialist requirements during a survey. Gas work must be carried out by a Gas Safe registered engineer; oil and tank removal may need an appropriate specialist.
Can I request a survey for several rooms?+
Yes. Add each room to the estimator, then request a quote or free virtual survey. Choose WhatsApp video, a phone call, another video call or photos by email. We will need to confirm an appointment with you.
How do I upgrade or change my night storage heaters?+
You can replace traditional Economy 7 night storage heaters with appropriately sized direct-acting electric radiators. Start with a room-by-room assessment, decide whether you need supply only or installation, and arrange safe removal of the old heaters if required. Use the free virtual survey to discuss your home.
Can my electricity supplier make off-peak night storage sockets live all day?+
Your energy supplier can advise on changing the meter, tariff or off-peak supply arrangement and may arrange relevant metering work. A qualified electrician must assess the property circuits and carry out any necessary wiring or socket changes so the replacement radiators have a safe, suitable full-time supply.
Do German electric radiators need to charge overnight?+
No. These direct-acting electric clay-core radiators heat when switched on and do not store a full day of heat from an overnight Economy 7 charge. They need a suitable electricity supply available whenever you want to use them.
Can you remove and dispose of my old night storage heaters?+
You can request a removal-and-disposal quotation with installation. Please tell us how many units you have and, if possible, their make or approximate age. Some older storage heaters need special handling, so removal arrangements must be confirmed before work begins.
Do I need to change my Economy 7 tariff when I replace storage heaters?+
Not necessarily. Ask your electricity supplier whether a single-rate or time-of-use tariff suits your new heating pattern. Remember to account for any off-peak hot-water heating before switching.
