economy 7 time clock

[paul b b]

Evening chaps,

have someone who needs a new timer on economy7, can i do this or is it a DNO job?

thanks, and a happy new year to you all

contact supplier and they should arrange it. its generally part of the meter system

depends on the system and install, some properties have an automatically timed system and others don't. my parents are on economy10 and its the entire property so the timing of the heating/hot water is up to them and nothing to do with their supplier.

thanks chaps, will tell them to contact the supplier.

happy new year

Thats right E7 puts the whole house on cheap rate for 7 hours so contact supplier.

not normally it doesn't, or at least on our council properties anyway. nearly all of our properties on econ 7 either have a 5 wire meter and two boards or dual supplies and two boards. i was simply saying that not every where is the same so needs checking to be sure.

Isn't that the older " Off Peak" or "Restricted " supply which does heating only . Different regions I suppose .

the only new property i have experience of with an off peak system is my parents flat which is only 4-5 years old where the entire property is on the off peak supply in the off peak times if you get what i mean, the council properties i work in are at least 20+ years old and have either the 5-wire meter or seperate dual supplies.
