Wet central Heating
I am hoping someone can help.
We have just bought a house which has a wet electric central heating system. It is a trianco Aztec. There is no gas in this area of Buckinghamshire.
Would anyone know someone who could service this thing and set the timings so we are only using off peak electric mostly during the day?
Worried about getting a huge electric bill!
Thank you

Off peak during the day?? How?
Or do you mean "fixing it"0 -
Electric heating systems don't really need "servicing" - do you mean it's not working?
Do you know what electricity tariff you are on?
It's really a case of knowing what tariff you are on, finding out the times that any off peak supply is made available to you and setting the system timer to coincide.0 -
The only off peak supply will be on E7, which won't suit you for heating purposes, only for stored hot water.
Electric CH run on standard rate and is therefore very expensive. If you run it on E7 peak rate then even more so.
As above, what tariff are you currently on?No free lunch, and no free laptop0 -
I wonder if the OP has a large thermal store(big tank of water) that is designed to be heated with off-peak electricity overnight???0
