Electrical energy storage

Just visited a friend who showed me his old electrical heat large storage unit, located in a cupboard which reheats with cheap power overnight and it uses air fans to distribute heat around his home. I was aware of small wall mounted storage heaters but not this size. Also the amount of  stored heat in hot water cylinders being removed for combi boilers. i wonder if it would make a comeback in this age of green energy?

    Back in the 80s I was busy ripping out loads of off-peak central warm air units and either replacing with wet central heating systems or gas-fired units. The main issues with any form of storage heating were poor control and high cost.
