[QUOTE="enositis26, post: 537604, member: 35907"] Hi all I live on a flat and I am paying for eco7 tariff. I have the suspicion that although there is a meter in the flat for eco7, it actually isn't properly wired so i can make use of the night electricity rate. I have a 210L Immersion Heater with 2x 3.3KW elements, one for on demand use and the other one is the main element for heating up during night. I have suspicions that the flat is not wired properly because the building was meant to have Storage heaters but due to costs, the contractors instead put underfloor heating, hence there was no real benefit, wiring the house for Eco7. The problem is that now i pay the standing charges as normal, pay a lot higher electricity rate in the morning hours, and at night when i heat up my water tank although i do it after midnight, i still pay for day rate!!! On the link below is my set-up. Anyone experienced enough to help? I think the meter is actually properly wired but from the meter to the black box and fusebox i feel that something is missing [URL]https://ibb.co/YpcdnBq[/URL] [/QUOTE]
