Default Hoping to de-modernise flat heating system.

ATM I can't quite understand why this was done.
The flat still has the Economy 7, 2 rate meters
I don't know if this metering system is still operating in any valid
sense.

I also don't know if the flat's night storage circuitry has been
replaced or just utilized to supply these new heating panels.

Either way I'm hoping that I can reverse the process and get the night
storage system back without to much disruption and cost.

Any advice on this would be much appreciated.


'Modern' economy 7 systems don't usually use separate wiring, just (as
you seem to have) a meter which switches rates for overnight
consumption.

So there needn't be any explicitly separate wiring for the heaters
(except in that it must ba capable of handling the load). My *guess*
would be that all you need to do is install heaters and get your
electricity supplier to switch you to an Economy 7 type tariff.


What a cheering and most encouraging idea, thanks.
