Smart Meters - Now a shortage (of display units)

AncientMariner
Back in November, we had smart meters fitted in an investment property owned by my wife.


The two meters went in, the Engineer kindly fitted an isolator which I had ready to hand and then advised that he was out of internal displays, but that one would follow in a few weeks.


Emails, phone calls and 6 months later have just been advised that rather like airline seats, the supplier had not ordered the same number of internal displays as Smart meters and now that they have changed to fitting SMETS2 meters they do not have any displays available!


Problem is that both meters are fairly inaccessible and whilst both communicate for billing purposes are not that easy to read due to the requirement to hold a torch in one hand, a pen and paper in the other and with the third, press the appropriate key button to obtain a reading.


So, after today's call from the supplier in response to a formal complaint, the house is on the list for a SMETS2


Progress........

    Think like economy 7 with peak rate and cheap rate times, then because the meters permit it, the additional complexity of

    First 10.9589 kWh or less of Peak usage per day at one price per unit




    Next 10.9589 kWh of Peak usage per day may be the same rate per kWh, or 25% more, depending on scheme you sign up to.

    same sort of idea  for gas but generally cheaper for consuming more  rather than more expensive.
