Qyburn said:If i recall correctly, you have quite sophisticated storage heaters. Do these allow you to see how much energy each has taken (a) durung off peak charge and (b) for peak direct heat?
Do you have a smart meter?
Really I'm just thinking your much better looking at actual kWh rather than monthly bills (or even worse, monthly DD).
I should calculate cost as my DQ App does tell how many off peak hours it was storing overnight, (total DQ KW's/h 7.5) remember this is without my early rises lights/kettle/bathroom.
last night for 19c 2 time slots today, midnight .5kwh 10past midnight .05kwh until 02:30 before 0kwh 02:50
Those should be overnight eco7 off peak as DQ only stores what it needs i.e. not full eco7 hours as such.
My own Non Eco 7- Peak usage is slightly higher as wfh and use Dimmed E14 Smart Led's- before multi kettles and cooker later.

Finally numbers are in...
29/11-05/01 37days.
93.50 Day Rate i.e. Peak 216kwh x 33.164p
154.83 Night Rate -Eco7 891kwh x 17.37p
Prev bill maybe not fare comparison as total of 20 days split between 2 slightly different dated SP Flexi Tariffs
Which is when I had referred to 131.17 cost.
Going forward lets see if running from 18/19c helps as I'm deemed slightly above SP High User.
thanks mser's

I've found 3rd Flexi TariffSave £180.90 per year with Help Beat Cancer Flexi Feb 2025 TM1
i.e. I'm currently Jan 2025 tariff, better get switching!
