can someone see if i'm on the right tariff please?

I'm with Scottish power, economy 7 with no storage heaters, 1 bed all electric modern flat.
The flat's water heater is not on economy 7 timers, just heats up when any water has been used.

Our winter quarter from 10/2008 - 01/2009 was £388.
01/2009 - 03/2009 was £220.

Where are on a standard online standing charge tariff.
Any ideas? British gas WebSaver 2 seems cheaper on a single rate meter.
I think we shouldn't be on E7, as our night usage is only 9%.

Agreed.

Calculate your annual consumption in kwh, not £, and put into a comparison site.

What do you see?

OK, so how many kwh over the two winter quarters?

(And what region are you in? Electricity prices vary.)

North west (liverpool),
In the two winter quarters:
night: 376
day: 2455
total: 2831

Now you need to guess as how many kwh you'll use over the summer months. This will depend on how much heating you used. 2831/183 days is approx 15 a day. If you think about 10kwh a day summer, that would be about 4660 kwh a year. Use that figure (or one either side if you've used a lot of heating or hardly any) and see what the comparison sites say.
