New storage heater only cold

Hi, looking for advice, had new storage heaters installed yesterday, they were set up to charge last night and then come on in the morning however they are only blowing out cold air. Was told it will take a few days for the bricks to properly warm up. Is this right? thanks for any advice

I'd expect the installer to drop by to make sure he hadn't made a mistake setting it up.

Not really, if there is no heat after night one there is likely something wrong.

They could be setup with outside temperature control & it's wasn't very cold last night so controller decided no need for heat. I had storage heaters in apartment with a Devireg controller in fusebox. Had a manual override or offset ability I think.
