Question for anyone that might know about these things.
My place is all electric, water is heated by an immersion heated with well insulated tack.
Since I moved here I've left it on all the time, it works on economy7, cheap night rate.
I thought that the shower came off it, but due to a problem I have with the water supply to the bathroom
it seems that I have a shower that heats the water as it used, and runs direct from the mains.
So all the hot water tank is used for is really the kitchen sink and washing up as the washing machine takes in
cold water too.
Is it worth keeping the heater on all the time at night or should I not bother and just use it when needed.
My theory is that heating a small amount of water each night can't be as expensive as heating a cold tank every few days ?
