I'm looking for information on electric storage heating.

1. About how much would it cost to install 5 electric storage heaters including the heaters, wiring labour etc ?.
2. Do they have to be wired in separately to existing wiring in the house?
3. Can other appliances (e.g. washing machine) be used on the night rate and if so does the socket they are connected to have to be rewired to the night rate meter?
4. Why is it necessary to have a separate meter - can the existing meter not be modified?

Thanks if you can answer any of the above questions?
 
1. No idea personally, but ther eare previous threads that might give you some guidance.

2. They will need to be wired back the consumer unit on a separate circuit.

3. Yes, all electricty used during the night-saver period will be at the reduced rate.

4. You need a special dual meter, one to track usage during the day, one to track usage during the reduced night rate period.

I don't recommend electric storage heating if at all possible. There have been many posts on the merits of it versus other forms of heating.
