Renting an apt... Water is heated at night using elec n kept in a storage tank. No idea how it works, I know we're on the nightsaver and there's no controls for the boiler, only a boost timer for extra hot water. Thing is... Its crap. U get one shower a day out of it and another luke warm/cold shower. It uses 1 1/2 times…

Thing is... Its crap. U get one shower a day out of it and another luke warm/cold shower. It uses 1 1/2 times as many units by itself in 9 hours than we use in 15 hours during the day. The boost uses a wack of elec and dont feel i should need to use it..

There's 2 of us here, our bi-monthly bills are averaging about €225. Is this normal?? It seems exessive to me and the water heating is crap. I'd rather the boiler was turned off n we got an elec shower installed. Other than the shower we've no real need for it...

So all im asking is if anyone has a similar setup, what do they think of it??
