If I extrapolate the figures for 90 days that would give a night

That's an average of 205 kWh/day, or 8.5 kW continuous (24 hr) loading,
or 29 kW loading (120 amps!) over 7 hours. There's no way on earth
that a single faulty storage heater could account for consumption like
that.
Well, sorry but it must have done.
No you extrapolated from one nights reading to 90 days. Any error in that
reading would be multiplied 90. Maybe you had a hot bath that night and
the water needed to be on for all of it's 2hrs... and it was a cold night,
IIRC you said you has a fire on as well...
