    Update of investigation will now be tomorrow/Friday from the energy suppliers. Have had the Manager of Trading Standards phone me this evening for photos/ electricians report. Didn’t expect to hear personally from them! Hopefully will hear from suppliers without too much chasing

    Crossed Polarity smart meter into mains

    Thank you for the info, Funnily enough the DNOs fuse blew a few minutes before the electrician cut the electricity- he didn’t know why and said it was too much of a coincidence but as he wasn’t allowed to touch it, he couldn’t change it to see. Also didn’t get any answers as to why this happened...

    Crossed Polarity smart meter into mains

    Our electrician has been before the meter was fitted and also after, as he fitted everything before he knew something was wrong and eventually got to the smart meter. The contractor company (another guy not the same one) came out and had his supervisor on the phone the whole time and had to...

    Thank you, yes I will. Will be interested to see where this goes. Even though we took our little ones to parents their already offering compensation in form of payment as it could’ve been a hotel... but wasn’t. Interesting

    Yes he said he’s never seen it before so turned the power off just in case.

As I know nothing of electricity and seeing so many...

    Also, it was a bit of a mess as our electrician couldn’t touch anything the contractor had done so I think he shut the power off just for safety until they could come to rectify the problem

    Crossed Polarity smart meter into mains

    Thank you, yes this is correct, sorry if I confused one. The DNO was told by his superior to cut off the supply until the morning (11am this morning) the DNO’s superior was also speaking of a disciplinary as I asked why he was taking so many photos. I just wanted reassurance so thank you

    Crossed Polarity smart meter into mains

    Sorry, basically the electrician said the neutral and live from the smart meter were going into the main fuse socket the wrong way round (neutral into live and vice verse)so when we thought the electric was off, it wasn’t So this is no concern?
