Hi,

I've recently bought a flat and have done away with the old storage heaters that were fitted. I was pretty set on replacing these with Dimplex Duo Heat storage heaters and the panel heaters to match until the electrician came round last night and suggested Rointe ones. Its a top floor flat and its usually warm enough whenever i go in.

I've had storage heaters for the past 4 years and they havent been all that bad, warm enough in Winter and not really much issues.

I work through the day so am typically out the house for 9-10 hours a day, I guess the only bad thing with the storage is the fact I'm not getting to use this heat generated.

I am currently on economy 7, just looking for an opinion on whether i should fit storage or opt for the Rointe. i would only be fitting 2 storage, 2 panel and 1 towel radiator.

I've been going round in circles reading different reviews so any thoughts would be much appreciated.

TIA

I have fitted quite a few rointes they seem to do a good job programmable so you can control everything. if you get them get a remote control its worth the extra cost. no complaints from customers as yet . also shop around as prices vary vastly from suppliers . the rointe site has a break down of the alleged savings compared to storage heaters give it a look
 
I've fitted a bungalow replacing storage heaters with similar looking rads from "the economy radiator company" - they are of a similar price, maybe a bit cheaper in quantity - but I was impressed with them, just plug into a socket with standalone and/or remote programming options.
 
Dimplex quantums strike me as being dual storage/convectors in sheeps clothing. Wrap up a load of old technology and give it a shiny new badge but you can't polish a turd! I've fitted a fair few and remain unconvinced.
