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.

  • It could be your bill has been set up on the total units against day and night against night. 



    Wouldn't explain John's numbers - his logger totals 129 kWh (113 off-peak+16), but the meter has only totalled 61kWh (3 off-peak+58).


    It's almost like the meter's running (at least) four different registers/time periods, two for night time and two for day, and we're only getting one of the night-time periods (mistaken as a day total) and one of the daytime ones (mistaken as the night).
