Is it me going mad?

24.5 is not equal to 65

Seems to me, if the meter was read and recorded correctly, there are 40.5
kWh to be accounted for.

Thank you, thats what I thought too - but I also thought I must be mad. The
readings are the readings.

So, now, how the hell do I find out what is going on? Where is that 40.5 kw
going to?

Its got to be to do with the heater hasnt it? That is logical ( I need
reassurance or correction here. I am confused) . There wasnt a problem when
all the heating was off.

How can a heater draw that much electric and not blow out the fuses - by
the way, its not even that hot ( and before anyone asks - no of the other
heaters are on or even warm, so its not all wired in one or something).

Its got to be in the heating though ( or is that not a correct assumption?)
I had thought it was another heater that was faulty. Now it seems I have at
least two faulty heaters. But I just cannot see how it can do this.

I set the heater input control at 4. I set the output at 3. The heater has
warmed across the top and the bottom is cold. So its not heated up the
storage capacity.

Anyone offer anyexplanation? Anyone experienced this?
