Free Energy Efficient Fridge Freezers Discussion

seagullsim

I've still got my fridge, in it's wrapping, sat in the dining room. I've tried emailing, calling - all with no joy.

Any ideas what we do now? To be honest, they can just come and take the thing away - I can't be bothered chasing it up any more.

I unpacked my own fridge freezer and was using it long before anyone from Rltec contacted me about monitoring. Is there any reason you haven't unpacked yours yourself?

I guess no-one has had any contact that the trial has finished and that Rltec/Open Energi would like to remove their monitoring equipment?

Nope, I haven't heard a thing and just continue to use it as normal. Due to the lack of feedback I'd be amazed if we ever heard from them again...

IKWYM, imagining my FF in 10 years time, still attached to the box on the wall

Have heard nothing from Open Energi yet.

I can't remember the exact terms but wasn't it to be connected 2 years, with the threat that if it wasn't connected to the internet they could demand the fridge back?

I can't believe they are being so secretive - must have cost a pretty penny in fridges! Bloody great fridge though

I still have the T&Cs document which clearly says the trial finishes on 31 December 2012 at the latest (it's a bit complicated but I've pasted the relevant section below - note it is whichever event is first to occur).

Yes it must have cost them a fortune, I have no idea whether they've gained any useful info as it appears to be a complete shambles.

Commencement and Termination

4. The Trial (insofar as it relates to you) will
start on installation of the Equipment (as
described in clause 7 below) in your home
and end (again insofar as it relates to you)
upon whichever of the following events is
first to occur: (i) your withdrawal from the
Trial; (ii) termination of the Trial or your
participation in it by RLtec; (iii) you moving
home (unless RLtec agrees under clause
22 to your participation in the Trial
continuing in your new home); (iv) the
ending of the energy supplier Carbon
Emissions Reduction Target; or (v)
31 December 2012.

Thanks for that, couldn't find my own T&Cs. I'm going to leave it plugged in a while longer but presume that now we have gone over 31 December 2012 they can't ask for the fridge back, or (as I originally feared) try and reclaim it back on some small print issue in the T&Cs

Haven't heard anything from Openenergi - have now removed my monitoring equipment and stored it in the event they ever want it back.

I expect it to still be here in a few years.
