[QUOTE="ProDave, post: 495079, member: 6969"] Separate meters for peak and off peak is a very old system, sometimes called "white meter" Unlike the more modern Economy 7, it is only the storage heating that gets the cheap rate at night, the rest of the house pays the peak rate all the time. The way it normally works is the supplier will have installed a time switch so the off peak supply only comes on at night. I suspect when your big central blown air system was removed and the individual storage heaters were installed, they were wired wrong so they are not connected to the off peak meter. As already suggested, check previous bills to see if this is the case or not. Oh and a VERY important question, is this high bill an estimate or based on proper actual readings? [/QUOTE]
