I'm about to move into a new flat that is heated using storage heaters. I am told that the supply is economy seven. The heaters have two cables connected to them - I assume one is for the cheap electricity and one for the daytime.
My question is how does economy seven work? Are there two separate circuits in the property? If I use electricity from the "day time" circuit at night will I be charged the cheap rate? Is the E7 circuit likely to be timed or are storage heaters programmed with the timings?
Apologies for the amount of questions but I've never lived in a place with this type of arrangement (used to good old gas central heating!).
Thanks for your comments in advance........
