    Economy 7 Storage Heater and Water not heating up overnight!

    No - i think that has same issue, but I think it is because it is connected to the main living room system. For the bedroom heater there is only one plug switch (not 2 like the living room). When the one switch is on, it operates in sync with the main living room storage heater. So if the...

    Economy 7 Storage Heater and Water not heating up overnight!

    Just worked out circuit breakers meaning! How can I check if tripped? I attach a picture of the box - all economy 7 switches are 'on'. Thanks.

    Economy 7 Storage Heater and Water not heating up overnight!

    Hi OwainDIYer. I have posted pics per your last post. One thing I noted was in relation to the water tank Economy 7 switch, there is a neon light - which was on at the time (10.30pm). However whilst light is on, tank isn't heating up.
