Electric shower v using combi boiler hot water - most efficient way to set it up?
Like everyone else, I've been looking at my energy use and have identified a couple of areas where I can make savings.

Economy 7 from April 2022
I thought that the variable/flexible tariffs from April 2022 would result in price parity. This may not be the case.

particularly in relation to energy. My energy spend from 1st October
