Comfort Heating
Vent-Axia Combination Storage Heaters take advantage of low tariff night-time electricity in the same way as our domestic storage heaters.

Vent-Axia Combination Storage Heaters combine the benefit of a domestic storage heater and a convector heater in one casing. The storage heater offers comfortable heat around the clock taking advantage of low tariff electricity.

The convector heater can be switched on at any time to offer additional heat when required, or used outside the normal heating season for instant heating.

Combination Heaters require a permanent power supply for immediate convection heating when required. The storage heater section has a separate off-peak supply.

Features such as snap-on feet, simple wall fixings and quick assembly mean that new installations or replacement of existing units are completed with minimum disruption. The cable entry is at the back of the unit on the bottom right hand side.

Automatic models incorporate an ambient thermostat which optimises the charge to suit room conditions, typically saving an additional 15% in energy costs.

Vent-Axia Combination Heaters are slim, compact and aesthetically pleasing. Their attractive neutral finish blends in with a variety of decors.

The controls are conveniently positioned on top of the heater for ease of use. Once the optimum settings are selected, no further adjustment is necessary. A separate convector heater On/Off switch is situated on the side of the casing together with a thermostat for temperature control.
