Hi, I have an issue with an economy ten system I have in my new rented 1 bed coach house. It is driving me round the bend and I wish I could go back and take another property! The bills are ridiculous that I am really concerned as to whether I will need to just sit with the heating off completely. The electrIc bills are about £40 every week.
To cut to the chase, I must be doing something wrong for the bill to be that high and would ask for any suggestions as to what I could do. I have a total of three dimplex duoheat wall mounted storage heaters. And by the front door there is what appears to be a more simple kind of heater with thermostat controller and a setback and mode functIon, I don't know if that thermostat and other settings are just for that heater or affects Anything else - I have assumed that it doesn't as the heater is different.
The landlord and estate agent know absolutely nothing about the system which is not ideal hence why I am here to see if there are any wiser minds out there.
Each dimplex duoheat has two wall switches next to it, it appears as though one switch has a fuse in and the other doesn't, the fused swItch turns the heater on and I can change settIngs. the heater at the front door has one wall switch. I have experimented with leaving both swItches next to each heater on, or just one but the bills are still ridiculous. Please tell me what I am doing wrong.
Sorry for the long post and if you need photos I can try and upload.
Thanks,
