FAULTY SUPPLY COMPANY METER METER

I have power logged shed loads of supplies over the years to investigate if a supply company meter is faulty. I have never found a faulty meter. I have found a lot of waste, lack of understanding of what it costs to run various loads and supplies to other users from the complaints supply.


You will know from reading my posts that I had a new E& meter fitted in October and had to have a dumb meter fitted as the supply company does not provide Smart 5 hole meters. Since having the meter fitted the account bill has rocketed to something like 5 times the cost of the old meter readings.


So over the last couple of days I power logged the supply and low and behold the meter is over reading on rate 1(daytime) and under reading on rate 2 (night time).  


At first Scottish Power said I would have to pay for a check meter to be fitted and I said no I can send you my recorded readings. They have now agreed to fit a new meter in 3 weeks time and after 3 consecutive meter readings they would recalculate the bill.


So my new meter is very dumb in more ways than one.

    No the switched output of the meter goes directly to the E7 consumer unit and the storage heaters are only coming on at night. Also if the wrong way around the lights and TV would not work before midnight and we would have noticed that.


    2 days of E7 heaters only used 3 units according to the supply company meter my logger says 113 units. Daytime company meter says 58 units, my logger says 16. About the same price overall when I am using the E7 heaters but when not very expensive.
