We’ve just had some installed as out ageing gas meter stopped turning.
Unfortunately it appears that the Gas meter is too far from the electric meter to effectively transmit its data, thus I can only see/read the electricity usage on the display, and thus will have to continue submitting meter readings.
However, the new Gas Meter needs to have a button pushed to light up, and as I can only reach it (outside) by standing on a chair, it’s rather precarious. I could read the old analogue meter from the ground as I didn’t need to be that close to read the big dial.
The new electricity meter doesn’t seem to be able to display on it a current reading, to confirm that the display is accurate.
I have a complaint email issued to my energy provide to try to get them to pay for moving the gas meter to a more accessible/smart compatible location. Or install readable non-smart meters.
All for a simple meter replacement… This is why I held off for so long!
