[QUOTE="ProDave, post: 491133, member: 6969"] It sounds to me like you have something like Total Control before, which was a complicated system with 2 meters and as well as normal peak and off peak rates offered a 24/7 cheap rate for panel heaters etc. If it was that, then converting to normal economy 7 would require some thought and probably some alterations. This is beyond the remit and probably the aqility of the meter monkey. You know the off peak is turning on and off okay, it is just the immersion heater that is the problem With Total Control this has it's own output and it's own 1 way consumer unit. I am guessing this has now been connected to the 24/7 supply not the off peak supply. What you need is an electrician to come and sort it out with a few alterations. Of course if it was not total control that you previously had, that could all be a load of nonsense, but still an electrician could work it out for you. A classic case of "it was not broken, but you chose (or were bullied) into fixing it with the new smart meter (that won't save you money)" [/QUOTE]
