I really hope someone can help me.
Last July I got an electricity bill showing an enormous rise in my kwh consumption of about 900% from what it normally is (very low, roughly 500 to 700 khw per year - now almost 4,500 kwh). There is an immersion heater in the flat which is isolated and is...
Hi looking for a bit of advice about an issue I have with some work arranged by a social landlord. The landlord had to fit a new consumer unit but sent out a contractor to fit an isolator switch the week before. He also renewed all the wiring from the mains fuse and the meter tails. When the new...
Hi, Nooby here - enough experience to know to respect electrical stuff :)
Family member has recently moved into a flat. He submitted the meter readings last week, then a few days later the energy company asked for them again.
Concerned about that, he compared pictures taken when he moved in a...
Hi,
The details on the meter are. Telemeter Series K , Tariff Domestic E7
When I press the blue button it displays 5 screens : date ,time rate1,rate2 and another screen which you can see in the attached photo.
Wanted to ask how I can get actual reading from this meter.
Many thanks in advance
Hi guys, could you tell me how much the dual-rate meter reading costs, please? I have a water heater economy7 so I want to change my meter for dual instead of single. You could also send me a link or details about the one which is worth buying. I would be grateful. Thanks
Hi guys, I have a question about economy 7. I have a water heater The Horstmann Economy 7 Quartz. However, my meter reading is single rate. How should I use the water? Is still economy 7 available for me when I don’t have two rate meter reading?
The second question about water heater. There is...

I have a customer who has seen a massive rise in unit usage, then a bit of nuciance tripping. I went out to investigate & discovered a low IR (about 0.1M) on one of the socket circuits. I disconnected the faulty section to get the power back on & will return another day to bypass the faulty...

Found this recently while rewiring an empty house.
Some interesting wording , especially the paragraph which refers to Meter Readers as "Company Servants"
Thought I had posted this back in Jan, but looks like it didnt post.
A meter reader turned up unannounced to take a reading/inspection of the PV installation at my setting, said this was normal and would happen every 2yrs !
Hi
Customer has a Polyphase Energy Meter, connected to the incoming 3 phase supply.
Her bills are a bit high, but I was wondering as she is only using 1 phase, is there any value (ie cheaper bills) to spreading the load over the other phase's?
Any thoughts appreciated
Hi all! I've been installing my own jobs now for the last month or so trying to get through this horrible rat race like everone else and when it comes to filling the FIT form I always help the customer fill it in but I'm a little worried about something which my wife has pointed out to my...
Morning lads, I live in a flat within a block of 4 and as far as I can see there is only 1 meter box outside, the electrical company want me to take two readings (one morning and one night) after hitting me with a large bill. I questioned this as the bill was way too much and they said they sent...
