storage heaters
Off-peak radiators
Storage heaters are electric heating units that accumulate heat during off-peak hours when electricity rates are lower, then release it gradually throughout the day.
Common in the UK and other countries with time-of-use electricity pricing, they contain heat-retaining bricks or ceramic blocks: The storage heaters take all night to warm up.
