For decades, oil-fuelled cookers have been a staple in many homes, particularly in rural areas. However, with rising oil costs, market volatility and environmental concerns, homeowners are now switching to an electric heat storage cooker. The switch also represents a broader shift in how energy is used and stored in a changing environment.
Why Consider Switching to an Electric Heat Storage Cooker?
One of the primary drivers behind moving away from oil-fuelled cookers is cost volatility. Heating oil prices can fluctuate significantly. This makes it difficult to manage household energy costs. In contrast, electricity prices tend to be more stable and are increasingly supported by renewable energy sources, such as wind and solar power.
The environmental impact is another major factor, with oil-fuelled cookers burning fossil fuels that contribute to air pollution. Electric heat storage cookers, on the other hand, can be powered by cleaner energy, especially if your home uses renewable electricity from solar panels or a green energy tariff.
There is also the issue of maintenance. Oil-fuelled cookers require regular servicing, fuel deliveries, and storage tanks, all of which add complexity and ongoing costs. Electric models eliminate the need for fuel storage and reduce maintenance requirements significantly.
How An Electric Heat Storage Cooker Works
Once heated, an electric heat storage cooker releases stored heat throughout the day, providing consistent cooking temperatures, and a gentle warmth in the kitchen.
In fact, an Everhot runs off a 13amp power supply, meaning installation is straight forward – as it plugs in, it can even sit within a kitchen island!
Each heating element is thermostatically controlled ensuring precise temperatures, and each cooking zone will top up when needed using only a trickle of electricity throughout the day.
All of the latest Everhot cookers are supplied with wi-fi enabled control boxes, allowing our cookers to integrate with smart tariffs, making them even more efficient to run.
Benefits of Making the Switch
Reducing your Carbon Footprint
Switching to electricity, especially from renewable sources, can dramatically reduce your home’s carbon emissions.
Reduced Running Costs
If you take advantage of off-peak electricity tariffs, electric heat storage cookers can be even more cost-effective to run. The ability to store cheaper energy and use it throughout the day is a key advantage, and the costs of home battery storage have reduced in price considerably, and are a great way of storing electricity to power your home.
Maintenance Requirements
Electric cookers have fewer moving parts and no combustion process, meaning less wear and tear. No flue is required, and there is no need for chimney cleaning, oil tank inspections, or fuel deliveries. In fact, an Everhot electric range cooker requires no maintenance at all!
Cleaner and Safer Operation
Without burning oil, there are no fumes, soot, or risk of fuel leaks. This creates a cleaner kitchen environment and reduces safety concerns.
In Summary
If you are looking to reduce your energy costs, lessen your environmental impact and simplify maintenance, the benefits of switching to an electric heat storage range cook are clear.
For many households, the transition represents not just a change in appliance, but a step towards a cleaner future. And the move from oil to electric is part of a broader shift happening across homes and industries worldwide.
By better understanding how an electric heat storage cooker works, you can make a decision that suits your lifestyle, budget, and aspirations.
