    Not all Economy 7 users are using storage heaters. We're with Scottish Power, we use an average of 30 units a day summer and winter, running tumble drier, washing machine and dishwasher just about every night (and sometimes a second run during the day too). I've just checked my tariffs on USwitch, and every single alternative I'm offered is an Economy 7 tariff, which would save me a max of about £28 a year if I switched from Scottish Power. funnily enough, if I left SP dual fuel tariff, I could save more.....

    You use approx 11,000kWh electricity a year with gas CH?

    What percentage of that total is at night?(cheap rate)

    30 units a day summer and winter - surely not just one family?
