=== Power switches === <!-- Deleted image removed: [[File:StorageHeaterTwoPowerSwitches.jpg|right|250px|thumb|Off peak and peak power supplies to storage heater]] --> Storage heaters generally require two power circuits, one for on-peak and one for off-peak electricity, and two power switches, which are switched off during the summer when heat is not required. During other months the off-peak switch can be left on at all times, with the on-peak switch being used when insufficient energy has been stored during off-peak times. The amount of heat that is stored can be altered using the controls on the storage heater unit. Normally the on-peak will have a fuse as it is part of another circuit. The off-peak will just be a switch as it has a dedicated circuit. Some installations work on off-peak electricity only and cannot be switched on during the day.
