Economy 9 timer

[jonas123]

Hi all,

Bit of a niche question - I have an economy 9 setup in my flat, so seperate circuit for heating / hot water that turns on for 9 hours a day. I want to switch to economy 7, but apparently the heating circuit will still only turn on for the same 9 hours.

Is there a fused spur timer than has a battery that will work on the 9 hour circuit? Obviously it'll need a battery as it will not have power for the rest of the day!

Thanks

Who told you the heating will still come on for 9hrs, the Energy Supplier?

What heaters have you got, Storage?

Do you have a separate meter and timeswitch for E9 or is it a dual rate meter with no time switch?

Post a picture of your meter and anything nearby if you can.

EDF told me if they switched meters, the heating circuit would remain on the 9 hours which seemed odd. I have storage heaters yes.

There is a single physical meter, but 2 meter readings (the normal circuit and the heating circuit'). Not sure what you mean with the timeswitch. will try to get a picture up
