[QUOTE="ProDave, post: 520454, member: 6969"] If one storage heater is on all the time, it is wired to the wrong circuit. But if you are changing that one to be a panel heater that is what you want, so no need to change that. IF you do want more off peak circuits, you DO NOT need to involve the DNO or get the meter changed (unless you actually want any changes and are happy to deal with the likely grief you will get when it does not work) All you normally need is a new circuit from the off peak consumer unit to a new storage heater. If (as is often the case) there is no spare capacity in the off peak consumer unit then you might need the electrician to change that to a larger consumer unit. If the electrician does not know that or is not capable, then he is the wrong electrician. [/QUOTE]
