Single rate tariff with an Economy 7 meter - which companies offer this?
Options
... Or a free replacement meter
Which energy companies will allow you to have single rate tariff if you have a dual rate Economy 7 meter fitted, or failing that, will install a single rate meter for free.
So far I've found out that:-
British Gas will offer single rate with an E7 meter and doesn't need to replace it.
EDF does not.
Can anyone add any other companies that offer this.
Thanks very much.
More info
We have an Economy 7 meter, but use more than 75% of our electricity over the daytime period, so economy 7 hasn't made sense for us for a number of years.
Our last supplier was British gas, and allowed as to switch to standard rate, and didn't need to replace the economy 7 meter.
Unfortunately, tempted by the EDF offer late last year and due to the rise in British gas prices, we switched to them online.
EDF's registration form asked if we were on a single or Economy 7 rate tariff with our then current suppier, and not what type of meter we have installed, so naturally enough I selected single rate, however we've been put on the more expensive for us, economy 7 tariff. So it looks like we are either going to have to pay EDF the early cancellation fee to switch to someone else, or pay EDF to have a new single rate meter installed.
