John, 99 percent of the flats I come across are single supply only. This is central London and docklands though, small flats probably wouldn't benefit as much from e7.
HELP NEEDED Immersion Boiler Dripping issues and concerns
- Thread starter chursy
- Start date
Indeed John and what's scaring me is the fact that it consume 3kwh per hour for every hour last night I had it on. Is that alot btw?
By the looks of it I seems to be utilising 20 kwh in a day ? And my heating is switched offf which is under floor heating !! Is that alot ? I think there is a fault with the meter !!!
3kW is what an imersion heater uses, until the cylinder is hot and the thermostat clicks off.
It is also what a typical electric heater, washing machine, tumble-drier or kettle uses, so if you run any one of these for an hour, it will use 3kWh.
Look at your bill, you are probably paying about 14p per kWh
Lighting, TV etc use next to nothing, especially if you have energy-saving lamps.

I actually have g10 halogens which since the bill I have switched off and brought lamps with energy saver bulbs!!! I have a feeling that the temperature sensor may be gone. But I highlighted this to the engineer and he didn't seem to think that was the case. I had it on for 4 hours last night and this is what it showed in the meter. Should I try tonight for 6 hours?
