I had 3 new Dimplex storage heaters installed to replace the very old ones. I understood these would be more efficient, but in fact they’re really expensive- often £20 per day to run a 1 bed home.
I’m wondering if I’m using them correctly?
here’s this months consumption- I thought the idea was to charge overnight, off-peak, and use this stored energy during the day??

Yes, you set the times & temp
If you had storage heaters before, you probably understand this but the basic info is -
As long as the timers are set correctly, it should all be ok. It’s worth just checking that the meter is reading the right way around and that the readings are what your meters say and not estimated on your bill
+5They need to be set up correctly
Can you tell/show us the set up? Also it’s worth checking that your meter is giving the readings the right way around - you can check this by seeing which register clocks up when you switch things on during day or night hours (peak or off peak hours)
Edit: you seem to have had a time with transposed readings a few months ago. Check the meter readings to see if this has happened again
+5I’m not sure how to check if they’re set up correctly or if boost is on
Are there some controls or timers?
