That’s nice of somebody! They’re not cheap, and I hope that selecting the right sizes, installing and configuring them is included in the gift. It’s important to have experts involved, and they don’t usually come cheap.
We don’t know whether your meter is capable of recording usage on separate peak and offpeak registers. I wonder if you could arrange for us to see photos of the meter - a close-up clear enough so the markings and display screen are legible, and an overview of the whole backboard the meter’s mounted on showing all the cables to and from it. You can include photos in a reply here using the Insert image button on the toolbar.
If it comes to light that you’d have to have a new meter, that’s quite easy to arrange. Support can help. If the storage heaters you get are the right size for the rooms they’re in, I would think that Economy 7 (E7) would be a good choice of tariff. Most of your electricity usage will be for heating, and then at offpeak times and rates. E7 usually has the best offpeak rates.
Please come back with pictures of your meter if you can, and we’ll take it from there.
+1Hi
Are you absolutely sure Economy 7 is right for you? It doesn’t work with all heating setups, so I first need to ask what kind of heating you’re moving to, so I can give you better advice.
Thanks
Hey

I'm really sorry to hear that you need to make changes because of your health. You mentioned that you're taking out the coal central heating. What are you thinking of replacing it with?

We have been offered free electric heaters quantum dimplex. As I live in a flat they will not do air source.

Contractors should be OK to fit them .But as I said I only have a single rate meter .So have not accepted them yet .The ties go into shop below where my cut off is.
I’m sorry to say that, for some time now, we haven’t had the means of changing a single rate smart meter to be Economy 7, so this is not something we offer. This means that, for you, your best option might be finding a supplier that does offer this, and switching to them.
I’m just tagging our metering expert
I’ve asked internally to if there’s been any update on us being able to carry out this process, and I’ll get back to you as soon as I have an answer. We have been working on getting this functionality in place and I hope it will be soon.
