[QUOTE="robincls, post: 466018, member: 30323"] Thanks for all your replies (and corrections re the phases!), very informative. Wish I had found this forum in 2013 when I moved in. W.r.t the rating see below from the data plate: Creda Electricaire Type AB Volts = ~240 / 50 Hz Supply Phase 1 Restric. 10kW Unrestric. 300W A.S.C 70 kWh I'm already on Economy 7 but my issue is the metering; I have one meter for the storage heater and one for everything else. So despite my water tank being timed to come on between 00:00 and 07:00 (and also the timed use of appliances i.e. overnight dish wash etc) none of this consumption is being logged as on the cheaper rate. I think I either have two options: 1 to look into a dual rate three phase meter that can monitor usage over both phases or 2: to suggest to the utility provider to fit two new meters, one for each phase and just add the R1 from phase 1 to the R1 from phase 2 and the same for the R2 reading. I guess option three would be to see if the whole lot could be run on a single phase. Would certainly half my current standing charge! [/QUOTE]
