I think I am pretty well informed on how night storage heating works considering I live in a house that has night storage heating! Our storage heater circuit is turned off at the circuit breaker so they don't come on at all.

Do you pay E7 rates or standard???

Congrats OP for lowering your bills.

Some people on this forum must be bored, They look for arguments constantly!!

So what have I saved in the last 3 months? our monthly bill has dropped from £160 to £65, this all because of a total rethink on heating the cottage.

As previously mentioned can you post your actual consumption (and tariffs) before and after making the changes / switching? It would be interesting in a geeky kind of way to separate the two.

I don't doubt you've made savings, and possibly substantial savings, but quantifying the actual savings is notoriously difficult.

On a different note bear in mind there are plenty of threads of people switching based on DD rates only to find later they have been underbilled to the tune of £100's. Sales people are often paid on commission only.

I submit readings online, I then pay for what I have used, not estimated use.

We pay E7 rates but as I've said in another thread, we would only be saving £20 a year if we switched to a normal tariff. Right now our actual usage is less than £50 per month.
