An increase in electricity demand?

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-tayside-central-50613678


"Electric heaters and cookers were being offered to elderly or sick customers, and those with young children."


Certainly if we lost our gas supply, whilst we aleady cook electric, our heating is gas fired CH. To maintain comfort levels I could see three or four 2 kW fan heaters being utilised for much of the day. As for domestic water heating, a kettle or two. 


I seem to remember a previous gas problem where the local gas supplier took round electric heaters to affected houses and blew a few main fuses....???


The photograph of the SGN vehicle with a sat dish and two air conditioners has me wondering. If the a/c units are to get rid of excessive heat build up, then besides the load of the TWO a/c compressors, I wonder what they have in the van - besides a rather large gene??

  • I like the big copper hot water cylinder that I have, (but there are bigger) that stores hot water. None of this hot water on demand (if all works well) nonsense for me. It stores at least a bath full of hot water. And of course the economy 7 copper cylinders have two immersion heaters in them. so if one fails the other can still work until repairs are undertaken.
