The other advantage of the E10 tariff is it is whole-house. Everything you use between those hours is at the lower rate.

*apparently!*

incidentally, the tariff comparison is E7 in the above graphic, but Amptec is a wet electric boiler.
electricity has gone up a lot recently as well. Also consider why its using E7 electricty? What assumptions did they make as E7 might not be applicable, i certainly dont have my heating on when im in bed asleep. I asssume they heat water at night in that example?
