Economy 7 help

Dexter7176_2

Hi, I’m on economy 7 I have storage heaters in the main living area and hallways of my flat. I only switch on the main room one. In the 2 bedrooms I use oil heaters (during the day)as there are no storage heaters. Should I change to a standard rate as at the moment I’m not using any heating. I’m not sure what I will do this winter. I’m probably going to use blankets rather than heating but I don’t know how cold I will be.
thanks

Is your water heating on the off peak with an immersion ?

Do you know what your night time and day time uses are ?    The normal split to pay E7 pay is in the order of 35%

The first question is can you use your living room during the day instead of the bedrooms?

The water heater is on the economy 7. But, I very rarely turn it on. I use the kettle to wash the pots and only shower.

My daughter will be in her bedroom during the day. I will be in the front room. She’s a teenager so doesn’t really want to be with her dad all the time🙄

I've got one of those too!

Who is your supplier? They get to set their own E7 day/night split rates, and with some the E7 day rate is hardly more expensive than the standard rate.

Kids🙄😁 I’m with EON the rates are

61.48p per kWh (Day)

31.45p per kWh (Night)
this winter is going to be a nightmare!

That's quite an expensive fix. Your rates from October on the EPG could be about 1/3rd less than that.

Does EPG stand for the energy grant?
This is the full tariff breakdown. It looks like the £2500 cap has not been applied. I’m thinking of not ditching economy 7 as the only thing on at night is one storage heater. I don’t plan on using it over winter and use heated throws in the front room to keep warm. What a time to be alive!

That looks like the original cap figures from Oct 1st, not the revised cap.

The £2,500 figure wouldn't apply to E7 anyway, it is for dual-fuel (electricity + Gas) using 2900kWh/12000kWh respectively, with payment by DD.

Either way, that is not the tariff you will actually be on next month...

Mistake on my last post I typed. I am thinking of ditching my economy 7 as I only use it for one heater at night.
