Thanks for your help and advice everyone. I'll need to do some thinking before next winter.

This is a pretty accurate description of my situation :) Looks like I might have to re-think my heating setup...

Oh. That's a bit worrying. But my understanding is that a washing machine uses about 1kWh. Surely my underfloor heating isn't using the equivalent of about 40 washing machine cycles overnight???

Thanks a lot, SimonH2. That's very helpful. Thanks for your time. I'm taking your advice to post elsewhere too. No, I'm not - it appears to have moved already...

Thanks SimonH2. You're right, there are 2 tariffs (1 and 2) but I don't know how the underfloor heating knows to come on only during tariff 2. If there's no timer... I mean, the lights come on whenever I switch them on; why doesn't the heating work like that?

I moved in recently and can't make sense of how it actually works. I'm trying to work out why my electricity bills are huge (on my own in a 2-bed flat and I'm using 48 kWh per day), so I need to know how everything in the flat works. It has no timer and no on/off switch (that I can find). It...

The thing is that it sprays water everywhere even when it's only on gently. It just comes out the tap messily. It's a mixer and the hot water comes out beautifully.

hmm. i think it's off the tank.

Hi. We have a new kitchen tap which has excellent flow of hot water but the cold blasts out, as if there's lots of air coming out with it, and it sprays out to the sides instead of coming out as a jet. Is it the tap? Or is there something weird about the water supply? Thanks.
