Electric radiators - any + recomended suppliers

Thanks: it's a dilemma. Cheap rate elecy is not as cheap as it used to be and the increased day tariff often makes it more expensive, or the savings minimal at best. These people work during the day and come home to a cooling house at night, and most of the eco 7 systems here are not whole house,( ie heaters connected to the night time meter only) so there's often no option to give the heaters a daytime boost. Also, with demand likely to rise at night as the grid has to charge increasing numbers of vehicles, who knows the future of economy 7?

But, If you heat a load of bricks up all night you can probably store enough heat so that the output will warm the house, but a 2kw heater might just never be enough, and I don't want to recommend a system that is not big enough. The "better ones" promise all sorts of efficiencies, which is rubbish really: a 26ohm resistance on a 230v supply = 2kw power, however you dress it up, so £500 for a box with a wire in seems a bit steep. Some of these have a storage element to them, but i can only think this smooths out the heating it wont give any more warmth surely? Some are only £80, so there's a hell of a difference. I'm thinking i might need to just let the lady ring a big company and pay a fortune for promises: at least I won't get the comeback. But this won't go away: Fossil fuel is bound to go up and up, and there doesn't seem to be an option that a local sparky can offer it's going to get more common and there doesn't seem to be a simple answer. New houses need a lot less heat but the levels of insulation required for older properties are in many cases impossible. For example, my gas boiler is 24KW, how the hell can we replicate that with an 80A supply?
