Storage heater draw power at off peak electricity ,which is at night.To fit new heaters which need power while they provide heat you would have to transfer the heater circuits into you main consumer unit.Then you would be able to use the connections used for the old heaters.Good quality heaters have their own timers and thermostats.The new heaters would not be more efficient unless you resticted the time they were on to the times you are likley to use thre rooms they are in.If you did not have rcd protection on the existing consumer unit or enough spare ways you will have to replace the consumer unit.
