Someone told me that it is much cheaper to use the washing machine at night rather than in the day. Is there any truth in this? if so how much cheaper ?
On your bill it should say 'Two Rate' or give two sets of readings. If not try pressing the blue button on the meter to see if it cylces through different rates. R1 R2 etc The older meter have two sets of dials Low and Normal.
Millarat is right - any fireman will tell you that the washing machine is onbe of the biggest causes of fire in the home - dont put it or the dishwasher on at night.
