How Long to Wait When Meter Usage Data Not Being Sent?
I've only had my smart meter for a few months, but I've noticed no data has been sent to my supplier (or seen on Loop/Hugo or n3rgy/Guy Lipman site) since around 3am yesterday morning (so over 30 hours ago). This is for both gas (EDF) and electricity (Octopus). Usage data is showing on my IHD for both. At what point should…

Electricity Bill Estimate vs Actual discrepancy?
I hadn't taken a meter reading for quite a while due to cancer and not being in the property. I received a bill for £950 based on estimated readings over 7months. I paid £450 and a few days later submitted a meter reading of 337 units more than the actual reading. This, spread over the last months of estimated reading…

EDF Smart Meters Problem in Sending or Reading Data

However, there is a message which says readings haven't been read since 12th March (leccy, had to give their my own reading) and 12th April (gas). So they are getting the data but are not able to process it in order to…

Issue with British Gas bill under old billing system, can't get it fixed on new billing system!
For context my parents do not speak English and aren't very tech literate, so I often times can only help them with bills (e.g. pay or dispute) once they themselves know the issue exists and check their emails. They had a bill for November 2023 that they only told me about in January 2024 from British Gas, but they said it…

Business electricity rates - too good to be true?
Hi, apologies if this should be in the small business section, I wasn't too sure. I am currently on deemed rates for my first new business premises. I have been looking into contracts and my current provider's rates would be more than the deemed rates. I am a low user >1000kw per year so the standing charge would be high.…

Charged imperial on a metric meter
I have just discovered that I have been charged imperial on a metric meter since 2013! It would seem that Npower, who changed the meter over, did not register it on the national database and therefore I have been billed wrongly for over 10 years. I read my meter every month but was unaware of the differences. The only…

How to fill the data gap?
There is a gap of about 12 days in the data from my smart meter. Data stopped being received but started again a few days ago. I'm on a Time of Use (EV) tariff so I cannot be billed properly with this missing data. By all accounts the missing data is still stored on my smart meter so could be downloaded but whatever…
