[QUOTE="ProDave, post: 520456, member: 6969"] You are miss understanding how E7 works. At the cheap rate times, ALL loads used in the house are charged at the cheap rate. So just use the timer functions built into most washing machines etc to set them to come on at night when it is cheap. You could wire some sockets to power up only on the cheap rate times, but that would mean you would need pretty old appliances, e.g. a washing machine with an old type mechanical timer. a modern washing machine with an electronic programmer would not just start up on it's own when the power comes on at midnight without you pushing some buttons to tell it what program to do.
