Storage heaters take in energy overnight and then release the heat the next day. It will be tomorrow before they stop releasing heat.

By the way don't forget to inform your house insurance company that house will be empty.

Thanks for the reply.

So i think when i turned off the 2 switches beside the storage heater then i am good to leave the unoccupied house without wasting unnecessary electricity which the bill will kill me when i am back.
