    Economy7 /water tank

    Thanks all I did the electricity count thing. It’s def the top one that economy 7. Switched that one on over night and we have hot water this morning. But obviously it only heated top element. I’d say £776 for 7 weeks electric astronomical. Got an electrician coming to have a look. Bottom...
