Hello guys

I need to replace a load of storage heaters for the modern oil wall heaters, i need to do away with the economy 7 side as client want the new heaters on a standard 24hr tariff .

It looks like a simple swapping out the economy 7 circuit and wiring it into the standard tarrif DB.

My understanding is from the economy 7 meter, this meter internally switches on the economy 7 DB during off peak hours is this correct?

and finally how easy are BS 1361 10x25mm 32a cartridge fuses to come by?

can't tell which meter you have. the dual tariff ones switch between the 2 rates. older ones have a timer and 2 meters.
 
Do the meter tags miraculous fall off or do you have DNO consent? 32/30A fuse for a storage heater?
