Night storage advice please

[growler]

I am currently installing a infra red heating system in a house. I have removed 9 storage heaters that were fed by the economy 7 supply. The economy 7 also feeds the immersion which will be the only circuit left on this supply.
My question:
is it possible / cost effective to remove the economy 7 meter and have a 1 rate supply seeing as the only thing being supplied Is the immersion. My understanding is that the peak hour tariff is more costly when you have dual tariffs?
cheers

All I’ll say is who ever decided on this must have lost their marbles. For a home I couldn’t think of anything worse than IR heating.

If the IH is only for back up, better to be on general domestic, if all electric might be best to stick withE7.

Yes the immersion is the only source of heating water

The tariff price is higher on day rate, but you have to work out the total cost, if consumption is more than an third on night rate stick with E7.

It might be worth looking at the comparison site for electrical supply , I can't see I/R heating being cheap to run ,at least if you can get the lowest rate thats the best you or the customer can do ..
