[QUOTE="Wiggy87, post: 470539, member: 30625"] Hi chaps, I wonder if someone can advise. I have a storage heater and hot water tank with dual controls. I've timers on one of each of the controls so I can set them to come on/off in conjunction with E7 times. I have the below multi rate E7 meter. https://ibb.co/gC9K2e The problem is it doesn't record a reading for the second rate. I had assumed it had an internal timer and switched between rates automatically. So that all the power in the property would be on the 2nd rate during E7 times. I've now come to realise I need an external timer switch to be installed as per the guidance on page 14 of the manual below. https://midsummerwholesale.co.uk/pdfs/Landis-Gyr-generation-meter-E110-Manual-5.pdf Is this correct? What kind of timer switch would I need to have installed, and is this something the power company would do or do I need to have a private contractor do the job? And if the later, what is stopping me from setting the 2nd rate for whatever times I like to benefit from the reduced rate? Pardon my ignorance! Thanks! [/QUOTE]
