[QUOTE="pewe, post: 387596, member: 2387"] You are right SS - Mum has one supply from a single dual rate meter. On the other hand, in our house (an old cottage) we still have 2 meters, A standard meter and the old 'Off Peak' meter. We were going to change to economy 10 but calculated that it is cheaper to leave the Off Peak meter. Our setup consists of one of these [URL="http://www.horstmann.co.uk/products/heating-and-hot-water-controls/boost-controls/bx2000"]http://www.horstmann.co.uk/products/heating-and-hot-water-controls/boost-controls/bx2000[/URL] This has 2 feeds, one from the standard meter and one from the off-peak. As the off-peak is only live when there is a Standard feed present, we put a timer (with manual override) on the standard feed so it only comes on between 8am and 11pm (so we can boost if needed, and 5am and 7 am for heating the water over night. This suits our needs admirably, but the controller is totally different to mums E7 quartz. PS - we didn't pay £80 for the BX2000, I got it off ebay for £8 a few years ago when there was an abundance of second hand on the market. [/QUOTE]
