Wow - thanks for all the replie, i go to bed and wake up to this
OK, a few answers for you.
I pay 10.49 per unit of electricity, this is all the time. We are not on any special tarrif but we also don't pay a standing charge - this is non-negotiable and in with my contract unfortunately.
My heaters are not like the old fashioned ones fitted in council high rises (had those before), they are slimline ones and after reading some information it seems they are called 'panel heaters' - similar to these

My 'apartment'
block has 80 apartments over 14 floors, they are ex-council bought and redeveloped - here is the website to give you an idea

Use the other one as a booster if you are home all day and need some hot water.

I've managed to work out my water heater and if i generally put it on for an hour a night, thats enough. Its so well insulated it actually stays warm for at least 24 hours
