Level 9231-10-22@Zdave94
Ah.....ok. Looks like I was right about the twin element tank. The lower one is your off-peak element, and the one in the middle of the tank is the boost element, which only works during on-peak hours.
So...the main consumer unit for lights and sockets etc. is in the airing cupboard...but no meter, so I'm guessing that is located just above the other meter?
Maybe someone in the not so recent past has ripped out an old Heatsave meter, didn't have a 'like for like' replacement and had to cobble up a two meter setup?
Confusing, or what?!! This is a veritable can 'o worms...

Don't shoot me, I'm only the piano player. I DON'T work for or on behalf of EON.Next, but am willing to try and help if I can. Not on mains gas, mobile network or mains drainage. House heated almost entirely by baby dragons. -

Right...so where the meter is located is a common service 'cubby' for more than one flat, and the board above yours will be a similar setup for someone else's flat then. OK, that makes some sense...I had a similar setup when I was in a flat a few years ago. Those four service cables will be feeding four separate heating systems.
Disregard the middle two lines in my previous post, then!
But, that meter only looks wired for the heating system...which is what is confusing me a little. Unless one of those big T&E cables also supplies the consumer unit, and then onwards to the boost immersion?
In which case....
Rate 1 is Peak/Day and Rate 2 is Off Peak/Night. Power constantly supplied to the consumer unit, but the rates (or metering registers) switched internally by the meter. The third rate, your Heating Rate, is physically switched by the meter, down the 'extra' Live cable and only powers the lower immersion heater, and just records that power use on the Rate 3 Register.
Oooh, this IS fun!!

Level 631-10-22@Zdave94 thank you so much for all your help
I think i now understand there must b an off peak boast (rate 3) and this must b the same price as rate 2? All I have to do inks is find my tariff and on/off peak hours -
Level 631-10-22@Zdave94 will add a couple of pics of my peak/off peak use that I was told by EOn does it make any sense to you?
