Unable to switch energy provider with dual metre

Posts: 2 Newbie
I live in the South West and last time I tried to switch providers I was told by EDF that they had a contract with SWEB for any properties with dual metres, which means that no other providers will accept me. I feel a bit over a barrel, has anyone else had this experience or have any advice?

It hasn't happened to me, but ask them if you they can replace yours with a smart meter? You should be able to move then.0

Dual rate meter or two meters?
I have two domestic supplies to my house, not E7 or anything, full domestic 120A supplies and two separate meters.
It's an absolute !!!!!! to switch suppliers, for some reason only Scottish Hydro can figure out how to bill me. According to the Mearkats I can save £108 a year by switching to SSE but they say they can't deal with two supplies to the same property.
I even suggested that I would be account holder on one and wifey on the other but they couldn't figure that out.
Going to a single meter is out, I could easily overload a single supply when the heating switches on with other things like electric showers and ovens etc.A pair of 14kw Ecodans & 39 radiators in a big old farm house in the frozen north :cool:0 -

Hijacking this thread a bit - is there a good reason you're not on a 3-phase supply with a single meter?If it sticks, force it.
If it breaks, well it wasn't working right anyway.0
