Hello. I am installing new storage heaters in a flat. I understand that they each need their own radial supply which goes back to the RCD protected E7 CU and they are each on their own MBC - probably 16amp. However, the heaters have an override switch for boosting during the day (not sure if this is just a fan or a separate convection heater). My question is this: do I need an additional circuit for the override boost or does an E7 CU work 24/7 but just has the cheaper electricity available in off peak (11-6)?
