economy 10 with npower help

oliviasmummy

Hi I currently have an economy 10 meter with n power which I have been trying to switch for the last 12months with various companies who phone, give me switching dates then I receive a letter a week later to say its not possible. Anyway I have found out that cos I have an economy 10 meter there are few and far between companies that I can switch too.

does anyone know if I could phone n power and have them take the economy 10 meter out and put in a standard meter ? and if so would this cost me and roughly how much?

any help or knowledge would be appreciated.

You could do but they may charge you, also do you need the off peak units?

What area of the country do you live in as I know e.on support economy 10 meters in some areas.

If the heating in your property requires the use of an Eco10 meter it would be folly to change to a single rate tariff, should think the bills will be 2-3 times more than they are now if you do.

thanks for your replies

SG- Im in Leeds I think my parents mite be with E-on will have to check with them.

Dunloadin- I dont have any heating in the house apart from a convector fire in the living room which we dont use as it triples our electric bill. example of this £650 for quarter nov-jan. £156 for quarter april-june. only difference in usage was the fire. house is really warm anyway we hardly ever need to use the fire. my parents gave us a small electric heater for our daughters room which we used at the beginning of the year as she is only a baby and our electric bill was less than half of the christmas one.

do you still think it would be unwise to change to standard metre.

I think Leeds will be in the YEDL distribution area which as E.on aren't the host supplier in this area I don't know if they would support you meter. The only way you would find out foe sure would be to contact them (or maybe one of their reps on here will be able to tell you). By the sounds of it the heating set up in your home isn't making the most of the meter you have so you should probably be ok to get it removed for a single rate one. This would mean you would be free to switch to any supplier and have a far better choice of tariffs available to you.

Hiya, just to confirm that we can support the economy 10 meters in all areas now apart from area 15 (Northern)

Sounds strange that you only have one convector heater with an Eco10 meter fitted, and the house is warm enough. You sure you dont have underfloor heating...it's one of the things Eco10 was made for.

A £500 difference in your bill for winter compared to the spring suggests you may have more than just the one hardly used heater warming the house up...unless its a very big one!

Also don't forget the hot water your using, all this will be charged at a higher rate than it is at the moment.
