Thats 1 hours use and it equates to what you would theoretically use if it the heater was on and never got to temperature. . e.g. if your storage heater is 2Kw then if on a normal tariff that would be 68p/ hour of it being on. (assuming it was permanently on) so two of them that would be 1.36/hr. ... an energy monitor like this: [URL='https://www.ebuyer.com/1133788-tp-link-kp115-kasa-smart-wifi-plug-slim-with-energy-monitoring-kp115?utm_term=&utm_campaign=&utm_source=adwords&utm_medium=ppc&hsa_acc=4337216963&hsa_cam=15863855946&hsa_grp=135814773027&hsa_ad=579048323256&hsa_src=g&hsa_tgt=pla-301209935491&hsa_kw=&hsa_mt=&hsa_net=adwords&hsa_ver=3&gclid=CjwKCAiAmJGgBhAZEiwA1JZolke6iaER5eBR_j-9NBcS4z5N2ispaUrnGk_C-SP_ZQWsMdALvtEdkRoCG0QQAvD_BwE']Energy monitor like this[/URL] might help work out what the usage actually is and how frequently it is actually on for,. Remember a storage heater is just an electric heater with additional material that holds the heat. usually like brick type material. which give what is called thermal mass. [/QUOTE]
