Is this an E7 Meter?

CharlieRabbit01

I get the impression from the name and this web link that it is but when i look at my actually meter i can only see one rate.

http://www.robertprice.co.uk/robblog/2004/05/reading_an_electricity_meter-shtml/

so is this an E7 meter or not?

If it is how do i see the second reading?

The LCD Rate display alternates between three figures. These are..

• 1 – Day Reading
• 2 – Night Reading
• (no digit) – Combined Day / Night Reading

yes i saw that but mine doesn't i've looked at it and it never changes, there are also no buttons to press to change the display.

There is not number next to the rate to indicate if it is rate 1 or 2 either.

The reading stays the same the whole time.

Then it's not one of those meters.

I suggest you post a photo of the actual meter you refer to.

Sure, i'll post one tomorrow, but from memory I'm certain its the same as this one except mine says Scottish and southern electric not eastern.

when that meter is used as an eco 7 it scrolls round showing the day/night and total. the rate in progress shows a blinking number or a curser to indicate which rate is on

So what tariff are you on, and are you being billed on E7 or not?

no idea only just moved in, and the letter i received asked me to send them a meter reading.

Then give the supplier a call with the meter reading you can see

This will:
a) confirm the meter reading is approximately correct as to what the supplier is expecting
b) confirm the supplier is only expecting one reading (so confirming you are not on an E7 tariff)
c) allow you to discuss the best possible tariff for you (otherwise the supplier will put on their standard/expensive tariff)
