Been round to a house to quote to replace some storage heaters for new panel heaters and came across a strange (to me at least) way of wiring the old storage heaters via a contactor in the board, as usually I see their own off peak consumer unit which powers up at night via economy 7.
From the...

I found one burnt switch, which I replaced, but nothing wrong with...

I cannot see how this can be more economical than the...
