As for % of kwh is day and night, I'd guess my night % is less than 5% of 24hr total. There's only the immersion that uses it, and thats a dedicated E7 one with 2 elements. I never use the day time booster, I've never needed to.
Why are you guessing at the low rate consumption?
You have the statements that will show the actual usage."Now to trolling as a concept. .... Personally, I've always found it a little sad that people choose to spend such a large proportion of their lives in this way but they do, and we have to deal with it." - MSE Forum Manager 6th July 20100 -
How could you possibly only use 5% during the night. The fridge alone will use 30% during the 7 hours at night. The electric immersion heater uses all it's electric at night which is a large part of my bill. The night storage heaters use a very large part of a bill and if they were used they would use even more at night.
Even when I had gas heating the water and used for heating and cooking my night electric usage was still 20%.
The off peak consumer unit is switched off so whilst the elec supply is coming in, nothing connected is on. So the 5% is the 24hr usage on the off peak register.:rotfl: It's better to live 1 year as a tiger than a lifetime as a worm...but then, whoever heard of a wormskin rug!!!:rotfl:0
