Is that right, should a 3.5 kw heater running for 7 hours on economy be
using that much electric?

A 3.5kW heater, if it charged up for the full 7 hours, would gobble
up 3.5 * 7 = 24.5kWh. In reality it will probably not charge up for
all 7 hours, but that depends on conditions.

Your meter will have at least two dials or electronic displays (on
the same panel, press the botton(s) to scroll through the display.
There is something fishy about what loads you are actually turning
on, or in reading the meter.
