Unfortunately you have very limited control over the heater, on days when you don't require any heating you can not stop heat from pouring out. You may have to become a weather forecasting enthusiast as predicting the weather for the following day is vital to make a room functional. Worse still, they tend to run out of heat in the evening often when needed the most. Importantly what needs to be realised is that while the off peak tariff is attractive, the on-peak tariff is over inflated, moreover designed to win back those savings. There is also the incredibly poor efficiency to battle with combined with poor distribution of heat, bizarrely distributed very high towards the ceiling and not lower at your feet where it's most needed.
