    Storage heaters on Economy 7 are by far the cheapest method of heating using electricity. Electricity is around 3 times the price of gas at standard rate so your heating bill would be astronomical were you to beat your home using standard rate electricity?
    If you must use electricity for heating then you must stick to E7. What's your setuo? Can you switch to an alternative fuel to save money and make your home more comfortable? Do you have a mains gas connection?
    Cleared my credit card debt of £7123.58 in a year using YNAB! Debt free date 04/12/2015.
    Enjoying sending hundreds of pounds a month to savings rather than debt repayment!
