@CraigyT I'm amazed at how many homes with storage heaters have Economy 7 meters. I have converted a barn and installed ground source/underfloor heating - which is, in effect, a large underfloor storage heater. The company I bought the heat pump from advised Economy 10 and I have been really pleased with the system. The three different cheap-rate times slots through each 24 hours is brilliant at maintaining a constant warmth. Storage heaters would be great with E10.
I've had huge problems with Eon and E10 - their advisors seem to have no clue about E10. Very long story shortened - I kept pointing out that their Estimated Annual Consumption figures were reversed and the recommendations for cheaper tariffs were thus nonsense. It has ended up with them rebilling me for my electricity since 2021 - quite ludicrous as I raised (with a lot of difficulty) a formal complaint in 2022 which resulted in them agreeing I was on an E10 meter. It's likely to end in the courts it seems - their "If you're not happy we're not happy" speil isn't worth the paper it's written on. Some advisors seem to take pleasure in being as awkward as possible. Eugh.
Anyway - if you are stuck with older storage heaters look into E10.
None of the energy companies offer E10 as an available option any more, other than for existing legacy systems already set up for E10.
E10 was deprecated at about the same time as the Magnox power stations!
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.
@retrotecchie, Wow, I'm amazed. With all the heat pumps being pushed out there E10 should be a prime offering. Surely it would help with load balancing.
E10 had it's roots, along with Heatsave, Flexheat and other complex tariffs, when we were making so much cheap baseload electricity from nuclear (it was a waste 'by-product' even!) that we just couldn't give the stuff away during off-peak periods. Those days are gone, never to return again.
