Change heatwise meter

Eon will "change" my Heatwise meter tomorrow to a standard one as I am no longer using storage radiators. No one I spoke to at Eon seems to know what is involved and the metering company isn't open weekends. Will they swap it our or just alter the wiring? Will the Heatwise circuit be redundant or become an additional live circuit? As my hot water is wired into the Heatwise power feed I may be without hot water (unless I rewire). Eon didn't advise me of that. I will need a timer fitting anyway of course as the off peak button will effectively become just a manual on or off. Hope this makes sense.
Any advise appreciated. :)

    The only thing the meter worker will do is replace the meter and connect it to your consumer unit (fuse box). Any changes to your internal wiring will need to be carried out by an electrician that you employ.

    Hello again mushy

    Spiro is spot on. Our engineer will only replace the meter. All other work will need to be done by a qualified approved electrician as per my reply to your other post below.
