They are currently set to home all day, and the screen shot below shows the times they have been set to. This was not done by me and I have been wondering if the times should be altered slightly. Below is from the living room heater (1 of 2 in that room).

Do these help? lol sorry I am so crap when it comes to all this.

Here are a couple shots of the kWh usage per day

I will be looking into this thank you for that. Please see attached…

Don’t know how helpful this is, but attached is screenshots of the octopus app’s usage dashboard over two days: Friday 24th and Saturday 25th (showing as ‘Yesterday’ at the time of screenshot) 24/10/25: 19.01 kWh (£3.78) 25/10/25: 29.18 kWh (£5.22)

Yes definitely need to do this!

These were the settings that I found on them all which I’m assuming was set by the previous tenant.

No I don’t own or part own the flat, I’m renting via Clarion Housing Association. Yeah I can see what you mean, but I doubt my HA would even agree to large tank. Yes I’m beginning to hear more and more bad things regarding the electric radiators. I have admit that Dimplex seem to be efficient...

Are you referring to the electric radiators?

Also, it’s worth noting that the bath is a standard small bath and the hot water can only fill up about 12cm deep before going cold! No joke, even measured it, and as mentioned before the HW pressure is slow.

It does seem like the more obvious route to go down. If I stay here long term, which is something I hope to do if I manage to sort this out, I may consider changing the storage heaters, the current ones are Dimplex Quantum Series G QM100 (x4 living room/bedrooms) and QM050 (x1 - hallway), as...

It seems there is space for a new circuit to be added. And I agree the 7.5Kw would be pitiful, I would be inclined to get 10.5Kw.

Yeah it is unfortunate that I’m limited in what I can do about that lol, it is what it is in that regard. It definitely seems to heat up during the off peak but for how long it’s actually doing it remains to be seen and I am curious about this more now. The hot water doesn’t fill even half way...

Please refer to photo to see current time setting.

As the clocks went back last night, the clock is also set correctly today as well on ‘winter’. I find the boost option is extortionate and takes forever to heat up and doesn’t really heat up boiling hot enough for what it costs. It’s all done automatically it seems, when I have wanted to have...

Thank you for this information, helpful to know indeed. I will have a look into those inline boosters, are they expensive? I’m assuming a plumber will be needed to install it? And I’m sensing my desire to get an electric shower could also be beneficial too? Actually, would I need that inline...

Yes turned that on and immediately makes that sizzle sound for a minute or so. Took photos to show the light also came on.

Yes it does but it’s a long long time for it heat water and not well, also costs a fortune.

I’ve posted photos just now in my above post. I’m desperate to find a solution/fix. I look forward to yours and others opinions upon viewing the photos. Thanks
