    Oil verses economy 7 electricity for heating a hot Water tank?.

    With rising energy costs small differences in cost, are getting larger. So assuming a well insulated tank & not much water being used during the day Washing up & face wash then a bath in the evening would the immersion heater on Economy 7 be enough & comparison of cost with oil. Thanks.
