Elnur HHR High Heat Retention Balancing Element Function
The Elnur HHR doesn’t use or have a boost element like other manufacturers HHR. Instead the Elnur HHR uses what we call a balancing element. The reason for this is to further save energy and running costs. In fact we can save up to a further 10% on energy usage over other HHR that just use stored overnight energy.
All HHR storage heaters are required to have at least 45% of their store remaining, when the heater has not been used during the day after a full charge. All the new types of HHR storage heaters will adjust their overnight charge according to their settings and how much is still left in their core. The Elnur HHR go a little further by also calculating how much store has been used and how long the balancing element has been on for. The Heater then decides if it’s better/cheaper to store more or less energy via the off peak charge or allow the balancing element to run for longer, while still maintaining the set temperatures.
Let me explain further….
Say the heater stored 40% of off peak and used the balancing element for 25 minutes one day. The next day it reduces the store to 30% and then using 45 minutes of balancing element. At first glance you would say this is crazy it’s storing less using off peak and using more on peak electric.
Let’s work out then how much has this actually cost, and let’s use the biggest HHR40 heater as an example. HHR40 has 3.4Kw elements off peak and 1.1Kw balancing element on peak. If the HHR40 took 100% charge then it would use 3.4(Kw) x 7 (7 hours of off peak charging) = 23.8Kwh, so 40% would be approx 9.52Kwh, 30% would be approx 7.14Kwh. Using 60 minutes (1Hr) of on peak balancing element would be 1.1Kwh, so 25 minutes would be approx 0.458Kwh, 45 minutes would be approx 0.824Kwh.
First day = 9.52Kwh off peak x £0.08 = £0.76 plus 0.458Kwh on peak x £0.15 = £0.07 (rounded up), total of £0.83 for the day. Second day = 7.14Kwh off peak x £0.08 = £0.57 plus 0.824Kwh on peak x £0.15 = £0.12, total of £0.69 for the day.
As you can see it is more efficient to use the Elnur HHR storage heaters with the balancing element and let the heater adjust itself.
If you’re still not convinced then let’s add 10% to the off peak and have no on peak balancing element like the other HHR.
11.9Kwh(50%) off peak x £0.08 = total of £0.95 for the day.
You can try different on peak rates if you want. Even if you’re on peak tariff is more than £0.40 per Kwh you’ll still be better off using the Elnur HHR over other HHRs.

Typical other HHR usage (off peak only) 11.9Kwh(50%) off peak x £0.08 = total of £0.95 for the day.
At £0.15 per Kwh on peak
First day = 9.52Kwh off peak x £0.08 = £0.76 plus 0.458Kwh on peak x £0.15 = £0.07 (rounded up), total of £0.83 for the day. Second day = 7.14Kwh off peak x £0.08 = £0.57 plus 0.824Kwh on peak x £0.15 = £0.12, total of £0.69 for the day.
At £0.20 per Kwh on peak
First day = 9.52Kwh off peak x £0.08 = £0.76 plus 0.458Kwh on peak x £0.20 = £0.09 (rounded up), total of £0.85 for the day. Second day = 7.14Kwh off peak x £0.08 = £0.57 plus 0.824Kwh on peak x £0.20 = £0.16, total of £0.73 for the day.
At £0.25 per Kwh on peak
First day = 9.52Kwh off peak x £0.08 = £0.76 plus 0.458Kwh on peak x £0.25 = £0.11 (rounded up), total of £0.87 for the day. Second day = 7.14Kwh off peak x £0.08 = £0.57 plus 0.824Kwh on peak x £0.25 = £0.21, total of £0.78 for the day.
At £0.30 per Kwh on peak
First day = 9.52Kwh off peak x £0.08 = £0.76 plus 0.458Kwh on peak x £0.30 = £0.14 (rounded up), total of £0.90 for the day. Second day = 7.14Kwh off peak x £0.08 = £0.57 plus 0.824Kwh on peak x £0.30 = £0.25, total of £0.82 for the day.
At £0.35 per Kwh on peak
First day = 9.52Kwh off peak x £0.08 = £0.76 plus 0.458Kwh on peak x £0.35 = £0.16 (rounded up), total of £0.92 for the day. Second day = 7.14Kwh off peak x £0.08 = £0.57 plus 0.824Kwh on peak x £0.35 = £0.29, total of £0.86 for the day.
At £0.40 per Kwh on peak
First day = 9.52Kwh off peak x £0.08 = £0.76 plus 0.458Kwh on peak x £0.40 = £0.18 (rounded up), total of £0.94 for the day.
Second day = 7.14Kwh off peak x £0.08 = £0.57 plus 0.824Kwh on peak x £0.40 = £0.33, total of £0.90 for the day.
Elnur- Dispelling storage heater myths
ARE YOU AWARE OF THESE STORAGE HEATER MYTHS?
Over the past 40 years it’s no secret that our storage heaters have changed drastically. From the old style SH24 manual control range to the latest ECOSSH smart storage heater range, we’ve come a long way. With storage heaters constantly evolving along with today’s technology and capabilities, why are there so many myths regarding storage heaters?
So, what’s changed since the introduction of storage heaters?
Since the 1960’s so much has changed regarding the structure, efficiency and features of storage heaters. The first storage heater made in 1961 by Dimplex was a huge breakthrough into the domestic heating market. However, it was far from perfect. Most storage heaters manufactured around that time contained asbestos which when inhaled could cause serious illness and could potentially lead to death. Now, 60 years forward people still have the common misconception that storage heaters contain asbestos when, they haven’t contained asbestos since 1947. Another common belief about storage heaters is the fact that they can cause carbon monoxide poisoning. However, this can’t be any further away from the truth. Storage heaters work by heating up the thermalite bricks within the storage heater and don’t work by burning any combustible fuel that could potentially cause carbon monoxide to build up within your home. This makes storage heaters much safer than gas boilers as carbon monoxide is a colourless, odourless gas that when inhaled can lead to death.
What’s the difference between old and new storage heaters today?
Other than current storage heaters being asbestos free, there are many new features within our Elnur storage heaters and within storage heaters today. Our High Heat Retention, or HHR, range is a perfect example of how storage heaters have evolved over the years. The ECOHHR range contains thermalite bricks which are our best heat absorbing bricks which allow the storage heater to retain more heat during the day to slowly release it based upon the user set temperature via the digital control panel. Furthermore, our newest range of Smart Storage Heaters use innovative technology which allows controllability via Wi-Fi and the Elnur G-Control Hub. Using smart Integral energy manager (IEM) technology the SSH automatically adjusts charging to suit the climate and demand.
What are the benefits of new storage heaters?
Now you may be asking yourself, why should I replace my old storage heater? It works perfectly fine. Well, ever since the LOT 20 legislation of January 1st, 2018 all storage heaters require a list of new features to be manufactured. This meant a higher standard of efficiency, more controllability, higher comfort levels and heat all day. With the introduction of new insulation techniques within the storage heaters, current heat retention rates are much higher than they used to be. With High Heat Retention storage heaters being able to retain 50% of the heat stored after 24 hours from a full charge. Furthermore, all our Elnur storage heaters come with a digital control panel which allows for full programmability to make your storage heater perfect for your needs, a built in highly accurate thermostat sensitive to ±0.1°C. Additionally, all LOT 20 compliant storage heaters require an additional heat source. Elnur Storage heaters include a balancing element made of aluminium. Unlike other brands that use a traditional boost element, Elnur decided on a balancing element due to its increased efficiency. See our Balancing element blog here for more info.
Will storage heaters be phased out?
A common misconception about storage heaters is that they will soon become obsolete due to incorrect information about their efficiency and cost when this isn’t the case at all. Storage heaters are a major part of the future plans for economical eco-friendly heating. Due to the UK gas boiler regulation rules, in 2025 all new homes will be banned from installing gas boilers. This new change will require another source of heating such as electric night storage heaters, electric boilers, electric radiators. In addition to this the UK Eco Scheme, started in April 2013, is funded by the government and requires energy companies to upgrade heating within homes of people who may be struggling financially.

Which storage heater should I buy?
When it comes to a choice of storage heater, there’s no better option then one of our Elnur Storage Heaters. With a 5-year warranty, an intuitive LCD display with advanced control options and a temperature sensor with calibration options, our SSH range of storage heaters would be perfect for anyone looking to transition towards storage heaters.
