    yes macman storage heaters 3 of them and a oil filled rad in spare/baby room
  • can you slow the heat release so it lasts longer and can they be turned up so more heat is stored.
    you really don't want to be boosting them at day rate

    That's the whole point of the economy 10 tariffs, you get a few hours of cheap rate during the day, so you are not boosting them at day rate!

    sorry didnt mean boost just ment the cheap rate boosts them during the day meaning u get a extra heat up. we have the heat releasing slowly and it still no good on econ 7
