  • I'm a bit confused by the off peak problem.  Before I had a change of meter last year, I had the nice old one where I had to submit the readings when requested. That meter was so far out that during the summer months the E7 was on until around 10 am, granted it therefore came on a lot later in the night but very handy for my immersion, it meant when I got up at 6am I'd put it on for a few hours rather than leave it on all the time, washing could be done on the E7 setting as well.  Now with the new meter (winter timing) it goes off at 7.30am.

    Why not fit an immersion heater timer and check to see if your washing machine has a delay timer so you can catch the last couple of hours of off peak for your washing.
