[QUOTE="ProDave, post: 537609, member: 6969"] You do have a dual rate meter, but nothing is connected to the switched off peak output. That would normally be used to power the storage heaters and main immersion heater. You will still be metered at the cheap rate at night on everything the house uses. How is your immersion heater controlled? For it to automatically switch on during the off peak times, it will need it's own time switch which will have to be set at the E7 off peak times. Does it have this? If the whole property is heated with electric UFH (about the worst choice possible) then most of your usage will be in the day or evening, so it is questionable if it is even worth having an off peak tariff because you usually pay more for your day rate with E7 [/QUOTE]
