OffPeak Tariff 61 or 62

OffPeak is another option for storage water heaters.

If your premises has floor coil central heating systems consisting of pipe work in concrete slabs through which hot water is circulated for space heating this may be connected under this tariff.

OffPeak heaters store up heat when electricity is least expensive, then release the heat at times that suit you best. This is one of the most economical heating methods available. It is 100% efficient, which means that all the energy consumed by the heater is converted into heat.
