A thermal energy storage system comprises a heat storage unit having a thermally insulated housing containing a heating core of thermal storage material, such as a plurality of thermal storage bricks. An electric heating element is provided for heating the thermal storage bricks forming the core to a desired temperature. Heat extraction apparatus is provided for extracting thermal energy from the core. The heat extraction apparatus comprises a first air heat exchanger connected to the core to heat air in the first air heat exchanger. An air circulation pipe is connected between the first air heat exchanger and a compartment to be heated, such as an oven. An air circulation fan is mounted in the air circulation pipe between the air heat exchanger and the compartment. A fan controller is operable for controlling operation of the fan to regulate temperature in the compartment.
