    The newer type metering setup I haven't seen any problems like this

    If I recall the older setup used a separate timer, might have been more troublesome

    Hard to make photo out looks like it’s on 0 not constant

    Yeah it was on 0 in that photo. I moved it to constant to see if it changed the light but it didn’t so moved it back. Here’s a pic with it at const

    Move it back to constant and leave it there for 15 minutes.
    Check wall thermostat is turned up also

    There is a timer switch in our meter room that controls the day/night meters, wasn’t working properly so wasn’t switching over to night meter.

    The clock causing the issue for us is the ESB clock, rather than clock on the heating system etc, not sure if that’s what you’re referring to. If you have access to take a meter reading you should be able to see if the night units change over a day or two - ours weren’t so was clear the night meter wasn’t kicking in and therefore the storage heaters weren’t coming on.

    Night reading changes and my meter is electronic so clock/switch is within the box somewhere..thanks

    Ah ok, hope you get It sorted so. They are a bit of a nuisance and seems to be tough to find someone who knows a whole lot about them these days! We were told replace them and when I spoke with my neighbour yesterday to let her know they should be fixed for the whole building she told me she was told the same by her electrician - only she did rip them all out!

    These are not viable in terms of efficiency so most people get rid of them..luckily have openfire and oil filled rads so not a pressing issue
