This rate is used for the 20 hours of cheaper electricity in any 24 hours. It can be used for approved central heating and hot water systems.
The remaining four hours in any 24 will be an interruption to your heating and hot water, timed at our discretion.
No interruption will be more than two and a half hours at a time.
You can override the interruption if your heating system already has a booster switch fitted. The units used for heating when the booster switch is used will be charged at our General Power and Lighting Rate.
