Pulsacoil 2000 with no timer

Hi

I have a pulsacoil 2000 with no timer... It is only used to heat the water in a small 1 bed flat. The heating is seperate electric heaters.

We are on economy 7 supplied by SSE.

The boiler is connected, and we have the choice of 2 switches. Off Peak & On Peak.

We are leaving the OFF PEAK switch permanantly on, as suggested. But, as we have no timer, we cannot tell it to only be on over the 7 hour period over night to take advantage of Economy 7.

Does this off peak switch therefore heat the water as and when required?

The bills are slightly higher than normal, and we can hear the heater kicking in at certain times during the day, like its heating up the water?

Cheers

Is it the heater you can hear?
Or the pump?
Check during the day for a voltage at the off peak and the on peak.

Contact your supplier and confirm you have an eco 7 meter installed and not a 2 rate meter. Usually an eco 7 meter has a built in switch and your off peak spur should be wired into that supply. This can become confusing, call us on 0800 046 1241 and we will go over it with you.
