E7 Or E10 Meter?

[liverpool51]

Im currently on the E7 meter& wish to try the E10 meter. My water heats up 2-7am off-peak, With E10 it will be 12-5am, so will I be charged high-rate tariff for those extra 2hrs?

I have had economy10 for a while now and my off-peak times are:
04.30-07.30
13.30-16.30
20.30-00.30

Hi liverpool51 - I always understood that economy 7 covers 7 hours (you show 5), and I assumed Economy 10 covered 10 hours

...which extra two hours? midnight to 5am is still five hours.

[vakayu]

gingejbee I think it means the 2 hours difference between 12 and 2a.m.

I see, I think.....but as f-f has said, doesn't Economy10 have ten hours of cheaper power?

[vakayu]

Yes it has but I wouldn't call it cheaper just slightly lower rate I am afraid I am not very good with fuel bills and the understanding of them also the so-called cheaper rates are not so convenient as the name implies,weird hours which are not so busy hence cheaper,the only useful ones I find are the afternoon slots.
