Hi,
However, i've got friends in 3 bed houses with 3 kids and they ony pay around 80-90.
Not true - if properly installed they only use electricity at night on the Nightsaver rate. They charge up and store the heat for release during the day. Admittedly this storage/release mechanism is crude and doesn't offer much flexibility. I think that you are confusing the fact that they may be hot all/most of the time with them actually using electricity. They may be switched on all of the time but they only charge at night. Dual mode storage and convection heaters have a convection heater that can be operated separately on demand. As a user I agree that there are probably more economical options.Storage heaters chew electricity as they are on all of the time
I've updated the post to clarify that the data points on the graph represent two monthly billing periods in case there was any confusion and people assumed that these were monthly amounts!Here's an earlier post of mine that might be of interest. Must update it again sometime soon...
4 bed detatched bunglow, ours cost nearly 120 pm!!!
You mean you switch it on to charge overnight and then dry the clothes when it's warm and then switch it off before the next nightly charging cycle? Or do you mean that you stick the built in convection part which uses full rate electricity during the day?use 1 storage heater a few times a week to dry the clothes,
Not a good idea from a safety point of view to put such appliances on at night or when leaving the house.put the wash on at nite as we use nightsaver
As I mentioned above and in several other similar threads it's not rocket science but may take a little effort to find out exactly where the electricity is being used.does nt make sense.
