    RebTech - have you still got hot water ? If yes - it would indicate a fault on the storage heater / circuit
    The OP said the hot water circuit is not time switched (which is wasting money).

    It was the thermostat as some people suggested. Not an electrician but some relevant training and a meter, decided to dive in and check it. So it's now out of circuit, in effect on full, which is how these arrangements are supposed to be used anyway, I just prefer to save some money and wear more than t-shirt and shorts in winter.

    I was talking about the boost function, which is not time switched but is cheap rate, because that's all I use. These systems are more complicated than Econ 7 and such.
