Default Electric storage heaters - older still available?

I was thinking that an E7 heater would (on our older tariff) get two
cycles a day when it only needs one, so cost much more to run.
Actually now you say that - I suppose the thermostat will only ask for
power when the setpoint is reached so maybe situation is not as I
thought (not as bad anyway). (?)


A "modern" storage heater has better bricks, which means it is
smaller. However, it will work on any off-peak heating tariff.
