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.

  • I have followed the suppliers meter installer who entered the readings on installation. I have followed his readings when I emailed them as I took a photo on my phone at the time of installation. I had assumed R1 was the day rate and R2 was the night rate. My account does not show R1 and R2 just day and night rate as was the case with previous meter.


    UKPN is the standard method R1= day rate and R2 = Night rate? Mind you the meter readings are still as variance with my power logger.
