Hello,
I've just moved into a new property that has economy 7. My economy 7 starts 0200-0900.
I have 2 electric storage heaters downstairs and have a hot water tank.
I have switched the only switch on, on the 2 electric storage heaters downstairs set the input to full and the output to lowest possible, it isnt using electric at the moment so that appears to be okay.
The house has been empty for a while and on my hot water storage tank there is 2 switches one connected to the bottom and one connected to middle of the tank. I believe the top switch should be the overide switch and the bottom should heat the tank during economy 7 hours?
No matter what switch I turn on top or bottom switch it is still using nearly 3KW of electric, does the water not heat during cheaper time?
I have also checked my keypad meter for the current rates and it has HOT WATER on RATE 3 at 7-717p but like I said when I switch on either switch its using the more expensive daytime rate?
Any advice?
Regards
