    Economy 7 Problems

    The consumer units are in my flat.  I could be wrong but when the supplier sent someone to change the meter I think they mentioned that the clock was in the meter, which sent a signal to the contactor

    Thanks ProDave. Yes I have my own metered supply; I live in an apartment block and all the meters are in a cupboard downstairs, but we all have access. Sorry, I'd thought that the clunk came from the meter itself, not the consumer unit. I've never noticed a noise from it, not even when...

    Economy 7 Problems

    Thank you Doc. I am in Birmingham, West Mids.  So in order to rule out each of the issues you mentioned, should this be an electrician, or my energy supplier? The boost control is working, as I am relying on that for my heaters (when it gets a bit chilly) and to heat the hot water.

    Economy 7 Problems

    My economy 7 has not been working properly for some time - both storage heaters and the hot water system stopped working for a while, then suddenly came back intermittently. One day I will get up and will have no heat/hot water at all (so have to use the boosters), then the next day it will be...
