Creda Storage Heaters
Creda electric storage heaters use off-peak electricity, usually overnight when national demand for electricity is low, and store this energy until it is needed by the consumer. Because it’s off peak, your clients will see significant reductions in their energy bills and can enjoy the control that a storage heater provides.
They are also highly efficient, in the case of the Dimplex smart fan-assisted Quantum model, almost all of the heat is retained until your client wishes to use it. The benefits brought to customers by using Dimplex storage heaters vastly outweigh the negatives, this is why it is a great option to all clients.
Creda TSRE FAQs
How do I use a Creda storage heater?
Using a Creda storage heater involves setting two main controls: the overnight charge level and the daytime output. The charge control determines how much heat the heater stores during the off-peak period, usually overnight. Set this higher in colder weather and lower when mild. The output control manages how quickly the stored heat is released during the day. Keep it low in the morning to prevent early heat loss, then increase it later if the room needs warming. Some modern Creda models include timers or thermostatic controls, which let you automate these settings based on your daily routine.
Are Creda storage heaters energy efficient?
They are efficient in the sense that they use off-peak electricity and modern models reduce heat loss and give better control. However, like any electric heating they may cost more per unit of heat compared to a gas boiler or heat pump in a well-insulated home. Efficiency also depends on correct usage, insulation and tariff.
How much maintenance do Creda storage heaters require?
Very little when compared with wet systems (boilers, pipes, radiators). You’ll want to keep air intake and vents clear, clean the exterior occasionally, and ensure any fan-assisted models are dust-free for optimal circulation. The main controls (timer, boost, thermostat) should be checked periodically for correct operation.
