![]() Is that possible? The load can clearly be more than 100A when all the heaters come on (the heaters plus immersion heater could potentially draw 130A). It would have been great if all the supply worked on the cheaper meter in the summer, but I guess the load would be too much for one meter. ![]() What kind of timer can we install next to the CU to turn all the heaters on or off? Is this a bad idea for any reason? When water is heated by off-peak electricity, it is important that the immersion. The tariffs aren't too bad either -they seem to be about the same as Economy 10. Electronic 7 is the digital equivalent of the Economy 7 Quartz timer. I'm not really sure if the heaters will still be hot in the evening with Economy 7. But I probably don't want Economy 7 either, as the house needs to be warm all the time as the elderly people are there 7 x 24. I don't want them heating for 14 hours in the winter. (The immersion heater is on its own timer in the bathroom).Īll the storage heaters have been repaired now (basic Dimplex XLN all models).

The house has 9 storage heaters - there are a number of people living here. I want to be able to instruct an electrician to do exactly what is needed, rather than keep being told that storage heaters "only work 7 hours a day". The electricians I've spoken to don't really understand the set up at all. I guess this must be some old historic tariff that is no longer sold (Southern).
