Hello, can anyone tell me what a £1 coin operated gas meter should be set at on the dial please.

you shouldnt still have these, I take it your landlord has put in a second meter?

they are okay as sub meters, but not as main meters I bet if its a main meter the bottom of the coin collector has been tampered with the allow the same coin to pass through.

There is regulations about reselling gas an electric

It does have a sub meter, im not being ripped off, its still at the same tarriff that was set 2 yrs ago, just trying to get the right meter setting cos i have been paying too less and the landlord is being really fair to me. Just wanted to know how to set it to the right tarriff.

yeah its fine if its after the meter, but some people put them on the main inlet which isnt. Inregards to tariff you will need to check with the provider. say about 0.0300 for prepay gas unit

um dont think your getting it he pays the main bill, i only pay for what i use on a sub meter, it has been divided off that the pipes connected to my hot water, heating and cooking are seperate.
