    Unless you have economy7 with a dodgy clock, no.
  • :beer: I love economy 7 it seems to be very frowned upon and you dont have to have starage heating , i do most of my washing 2-3 loads and charging of appliances at night then, we have a 3 bed mid terrace and i spent around £30.00 month on electricity ... hth

    But do you save enough for the extra price you are charged for all your daytime electricity??

    It is very hard to make Economy 7 pay if you haven't got storage heating; but not impossible.

    Depending on your company/tariff/UKarea it generally needs 30% used on E7 just to break even.
