ELKAtherm v Economy 7

ELKAtherm v Economy 7

Cheap overnight electricity sounds attractive, but Economy 7 has its disadvantages – not least higher daytime electricity rates.
That means Economy 7 increases the cost of everything from watching television to making a cup of tea by as much as 50%. But is it an efficient way to heat your home? We put it to the test.

Real-life comparison: ELKAtherm vs Economy 7 night storage heating

We added up the electricity bills in a well-insulated, two-bedroom bungalow in Holsworthy, Devon – for a full 12 months before and after switching from night storage heating to ELKAtherm electric radiators. The results were clear. Even before non-heating savings from switching to a flat-rate tariff, ELKAtherm radiators reduced our customer’s heating costs by 28% (and her electricity use by two thirds).
