Panel heaters and storage heaters both heat using convection but they achieve this through very different processes. Storage heaters work by charging up overnight and releasing heat throughout the day. Because heat is inevitably lost along the way, leaking out from the storage heater as soon as it begins charging, this method of heating is inherently less efficient than panel heaters, which only use energy when the temperature has dropped. To ensure your storage heaters have enough charge to heat throughout the day, storage heaters need a much higher wattage to heat the same sized space as an equivalent panel heater.

However, although panel heaters are more efficient, they are not necessarily more economical. Though their heating method is inefficient, storage heaters have the benefit of being able to utilise the cheaper Economy 7 tariff, so they’re almost always cheaper to run. That’s why they’re sold as a whole home heating system whereas panel heaters are just designed for occasional use.

If you want a real improvement on storage heaters, electric radiators are more efficient still and offer a much greater level of control. So much so, in fact, that they can even be cheaper to run despite being on a standard tariff.
