Pre-Payment Meter Standing Charges.

Zoomup
If somebody moves into a new house and there are pre-paid meters as used by the previous owner, is the new owner responsible for any standing charges if no electricity or gas is consumed for a period of months? The new owner has not contracted with the energy suppliers in his own name or credited the meters with a key thingy.

    Hi Jaymack, is live testing is a requirement for an EICR, where a supply is not available it could just be a limitation that should be agreed with the person ordering the work? 


     




    That's a pretty major limitation. "Dear customer, it all checks out ok, except: I couldn't measure Ze so have no idea whether the supply provides a suitable earth, so the whole installation could be a death trap. Also I have no idea whether any of the RCDs work".
