What would be nice is to have an economy 7 type system where you can
elect to ovr ride it in circumstances where cost is not the issue. After
all we can do that on water heaters already. When I asked about it I was
told that I'd need to change all my storage heaters and give each a dual
supply. Not very helpful, ...

But posibly quite beneficial as new storage heaters would be the high
heat retention type with programable room stats so don't dump all
thier heat during the day when the weather suddenly turns cold
leaving nothing for the evening.

There was a grant scheme available a while back to swap old "pile of
bricks in a tin can" storeage heaters for modern high heat retention
ones. Donno if it's still running or what the requirements to qualify
were.

... maybe remote controlled smart meters is the answer.

They are remote controlled or do you mean the customer having
control?
