New storage heater?

Thanks Owain, I'll see how things go with the existing heater.0

Hi Oldernotwiser,
The existing heater seems to be the older (non-automatic) version of the one you linked to. It has a convector heater built in. Problem with those is of course that using it could be expensive unless the night rate has kicked in. Nice to have it to fall back on though.
If you are using the convector on the heater, make sure it is switched off overnight. If it is on, the storage heater thinks it is warm enough and won't take in any heat during the night, leaving you cold next day.0 -

I will indeed beware of doing that!
Although storage heating is far from ideal it does seem half the battle is just getting in the habit of adjusting the controls when needed.0
