My auntie lives miles away from me and lives in sheltered type housing, she has her own flat that she owns the lease for but there are communial areas and a manager on site 24 hours in case help is needed. The flat is heated with night storage heaters. A few months ago a company sold her some super duper flash new heaters to replace the old heaters.
She has 2 consumer units, one for sockets and lights etc and one for the storage heaters and water heater. She has the meter where there are 5 tails, live and neutral in, neutral out, live out to the general consumer unit and live out to the storage heater consumer unit.
So I pop my head into the cu cupboard and what they have done in pulled the feed from the meter to the storage heater cu and henleyed it in the general cu feed. So now there is only the general live out of the meter which splits and feeds the 2 CU's. They didnt cover up the hole where the storage CU live tail was.
My understanding of these types of meters is that the tail that feeds the general CU is at the standard rate and the tail that feeds the storage heater CU is at a lower rate.
Am I right or are both outputs at a lower rate at night time?
Also apparently these new super duper heaters are so efficient that they can (and are used during the day). Can they really be that good!
