Hi all,We have a single phase supply and have recently had it switched from Economy 7 to a standard flat rate tariff. This is because we want to replace the old storage heaters with standard electrical radiators.We have 2 consumer units, the one on the right is the ’night-time’ supply on the old tariff and has the wiring for the storage heaters and immersion heater, the one on the left is for the remaining sockets and lights etc for the rest of the house. Since switching to the new tariff, the right one (storage heaters) no longer works. I was expecting this.My question is, how much of a job is it to change the wiring so that the flat rate supply now activates both units, not just the left hand one? This is obviously a job I am not planning on doing myself and will get a sparky in to do. Does it involve a bit of reconfiguration with the thick supply wires or will I need a whole new one large consumer unit that takes in both of the old supplies?Images of my supply and consumer unit are in the following link:https://postimg.cc/gallery/rzX0p91/d6bd5210Many thanks in advance,Dan
