[QUOTE="CharlesC, post: 548421, member: 37309"] It does. One on the heating circuit which is switched off and broken. The other is on the mains wiring and again only used when we want it. The heating circuit only becomes active when the meter says so. In the afternoon and again late at night, or early hours. The second element we can switch on anytime and would not work if it was on the heating circuit if that was in its off state. In any case both are off. My belief is our meter is setup completely wrong for the two circuits going through it. My question is should a heating circuit use power when I have double checked and switched all systems off on that circuit? I am responsible for the power that possibly activates the system, as there are humming noises from within the meter box associated with this circuit but those boxes are the supplier's systems?
