What is a High Heat Retention (HHR) storage heater?
HRR means High Heat Retention. Basically ‘High Heat Retention’ storage heaters have an extra level of insulation that keeps the storage heater cooler when it isn’t in use. This helps to save more of the heat for when you do want to heat your room compared to a standard storage heater.
