HappyMJ, your guess is correct. I don't use electricity for heating at all. If the difference between the typical 80/20 or my mis-recorded 74/26 and my actual 63/37 is only £20 over 3.5 years, or under 50p per month, it's not worth waiting until 00:30 to start the washing machine or otherwise change my consumption pattern! If this is true, I wish I knew that earlier!

It's still worth waiting until 0:30am or later to start washing machines and dishwashers you will save about 10p per occasion (based on my rates) but if you were on a standard rate you could use them any time and the overall cost wouldn't be much different.

You might be better off considering a meter change to a standard meter so all of your units can be purchased for a cheaper rate.
