Hi, Our meter is an import / export Landis and Gyr. To supply Our readings We have to deduct the R from the T. The meter has now rolled over to 00*** so We can not deduct the R now as this would give a minus reading. Any idea how to give energy company a reading? Someone said add 99999 to...
Hello, I am on Economy 7 and I have storage heaters and a hot water tank connected to a separate CU for my off-peak usage. The timer that switches to the off-peak circuit at night on my newly installed SMETS2 smart meter is wrong so I am being overcharged by 50% for my night appliances. The...

So my question is, could the job not be done with an...
Evening!
Once upon a time I would use 25mm meter tails which comprised of 7 strands. I now use a 19 strand version. The other day, however, I'm sure I spotted a very fine stranded version on a page on YouTube or in a catalogue/magazine etc.
Anyone know what this would have been and is it...
Hi, I have a flat in a rather old building in London. Its subdivided into a few individual flats, and there is a meter board with a gas and electric meter in each flat. My electricity supplier sent someone out a few days ago to fit a smart meter, but the fitter said he was unable to do so...

I have a second unused (but still active) mains supply cable from a time when we had electric heaters. Unfortunately the separate meter on this supply was removed a few years back. It would seem to be...
Hi. Is there a better forum for this? Anyway I've moved into a new place and the meter is weird. (I just had one physical reading at my old house, but this has loads of "pages" on an LCD). The new place has electric storage radiators (which are currently all turned off at the wall), some of...
