Here I go again ….

I’ve asked them to do it so fingers crossed

Thought I’d do a quick update on my snug tariff now I’ve had it a few weeks 

I definitely need the afternoon boost it gives , my heaters are cooler by the 4 pm time slot 

however , my new heater in the bedroom is so much better then the living room one , I only have this one half way on the input dial at the min , that might change as the colder weather is on its way 

my bills are a lot cheaper then Edf as well , the 9 p off peak makes so much difference to the bill 

octopus customer service is miles better as well , so I am happy I changed to them

Does the afternoon boost provide sufficient enough top up for your old style heaters? I think my living room would still be cold in a morning on the coldest of days of winter with only a 6 hours charge as I still have to top up for the final hour with a fan heater on E7. I've just initiated a switch to UW to make use of their extremely cheap rate. Just waiting for it to go through, hopefully before it turns cold next weekend. I've not needed the heating on yet.

Yes… the boost is great and definitely enough to see me through until bedtime .. I am early to bed thou 

might not suit a later to bed household

Before the clocks changed in March those on Snug were getting a 3pm to 4pm cheap hour.  So it will be interesting if it goes back to that time when the clocks change next weekend.

Rosie1001

Morning 

now the clocks went back , I get my afternoon boost at 3.09 pm for a hour 

working really well for us as I can put dryer on and cook main meal as we eat around 4.45 pm most days anyway 

my bills are certainly better on snug , but more importantly my home is warm … 

so it’s a winner for me this winter 🥶

3258 watt-hours is 3.258 kWh.

At 28.82p per kWh, that's 94p.

What's the appliance?

7.2kW means it's something meaty, like an electric shower or EV charger!

Rosie1001

Yup , new shower … defo costing more then I thought 

thank you for your help 

hope you are well and keeping warm

Try to shower at off peak if you can. 7.2kW is on the lower power scale of electric showers.
