Does storage heater suppose to cost so much, £10 every day i put in my meter and thats with 3 storage heaters . Ive done a comparison with energy suppliers and there all the same
It may be correct.. Or you may be charged the wrong rate?
But what is your Economy 7 charge?
and what rating are the storage heaters?
Do you know how to calculate how much you will pay by checking the Unit cost, Power & duration?
If not this may help..
Electrical Units are charged by things called KiloWatt-Hours..
which is the cost for the consumption of 1 kilowatt of electricity for an hour.
Your heaters will have a power rating in Watts (or Kilowatts) 1000watts = 1 KiloWatt.
If you had three 2.5KiloWatt (2500Watt), heaters all switched on for 8 hours..
that is 3 heaters x 2.5 kilowatts x 8 hours = 60KiloWatt/Hours. {3x2.5x8}
If 1KiloWatt-hour is charged at 17p per unit that would be 60x17p = £10.20
You will need to double check your own expected figures to see if you are being overcharged..
(A) Heater#1 kW
(B) Heater#2 kW
(C) Heater#3 kW
(D) Duration hours
(E) Unit charge.
(A+B+C) x (D) x (E).
