I heard electricty is cheaper at nigth with british gas?

What hours constitute night time?

Would you reccomend a timer(ones people use for tree lights), so it charges my mobile phones at night?

    You heard wrong, it depends what tariff you are on!

    If you are on a dual rate tariff with different unit prices for day units and night units, it varies depending on your region and the method used to switch between the two rates.

    No, mobile chargers use very little electricity!

    You would need to get a dual tarriff meter fitted with radio tlelswitch. Its no use just using a plug in timer..! See your supplier re economy 7.Its really for high rated appliances eg immersion heater,central heating,dryer,etc
