Electricity usage busiest time 2AM?!?!

I see! OK, I'll give it a go. It might be easier when the weather's warmer!

Is it a clockwork timer om the meter, or tele-switched? If the former, has the time drifted out by some hours, which it commonly does?

I honestly don't know. My Economy 7 is 01:30 - 08:30 so I think that means it's out by 30mins but at least it's still in E7?!?

With E7 you need to be absolutely certain of three things: being misinformed can prove to be an expensive mistake.

What are the exact switching times?  The only way be sure is to look at the meter.  Beware some regions that have two hours at day rate in the middle of the night.

The immersion heater is on an E7 circuit switched by the meter, or has an accurate non-volatile local timer correctly slaved to the E7 times or part thereof.

Any second immersion heater higher up on a 24h circuit cannot be left on accidentally.
