Electric heated water

  • That's a great reply, very informative, thank you.

    So basically if I go E7 it should be all or nothing, night water heating & storage heating, and keep heating during the day to a minimum. Or, stay on 1 rate and heat water & house when needed?

    I'll look into that combined tank too, certainly a cheaper option than an unvented system.

    I wouldn't say all or nothing, but as much as possible or nothing.

    You could of course look at options for a thermal store which could link up with your log burner too. There are so many options.

    But I think you should be looking at E7 with as much storage as you can afford. That will save you on bills in the future.

    Any other questions, just ask. ;)
