I've searched both forums and comparison sites and cannot find an answer.
We've just moved into an old cottage with 5 storage heaters and economy 7, we also have an oil fired rayburn and a woodburner so we've turned off all the old storage heaters and will get them removed.
Is there a way of finding out which suppliers will allow us to have a single tariff where the 2 lots of readings are simply added together?
I don't want to sign up and find the supplier insists on using economy 7. We are using 1 unit per night & 7 units per day, we are retired so at home a lot at the moment.
I know there are energy company reps on here so perhaps they or others who've experienced similar could give me an idea.

Start by comparing using a comparison site.

There won't be many (possibly none) that will be cheaper for you on a single rate compared to the cheapest option on E7.

If you are then still bothered, check with the supplier(s) directly of any that may save you money on a single rate.

My understanding is under new rules suppliers have to offer people with configurations like yours a single rate tariff.

No. Whilst it is a requirement for those suppliers that are on 2 or more rate tariffs, it specifically does not cover those with E7 meters.
i.e. it covers those with legacy metering

Suggest you only try to switch by phoning a supplier.

Agreed.

I have a single meter with 2 registers 17 hours day rate and 7 hours night rate i.e.Economy 7 set up. I have been with Eon, BG, OVO who agregate the two readings and charge me for a single rate. e.g say 1000kWh on the day rate register and 300kWh on the Night rate register is charged at 1,300kWh on a single rate.

EDF will 'Totalise' ECO 7 readings and charge at Standard meter rate

Thank you, I'd worked on the basis that my inherited tariff is 22p/11p is representative but searching has confirmed your view. the E7 versus standard for suppliers I can compare is £3 a year! with E7 being slightly cheaper

If those are the day and night rates they are hideously expensive. Is this a Deemed Tariff?
