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.

    As I have already stated I was expecting to have a smart meter fitted but the meter installer said. I could only have a dumb meter as I have E7 heating and they do not supply 5 hole smart meters. So no sale for your retirement fund. 


    Mind you will there be E7 tariffs in the future when everyone will be plugging their electric vehicles at night so there will be no surplus generation at night. Also the pumped storage generation will turn in to a white elephant with no cheap electricity at night to pump the water back up to the top of the mountain reservoir.
