My meter in my new home seems to have ben installed in 1969, and has a missing seal and no certification information.
According to this: http://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/1998/1566/schedule/4/made as it's an AEI NQ it has a 20 year certification.
In addition, it has evidence of leakage below it, and is sticky all over.
Can I request any sort of inspection /review / replacement?0 -

I would do it if for no other reason than to not be accused of meter fiddling later down the line.0 -

Oooh, :eek:, so you dug that snippet out from over a year ago?
Well 'actually' anybody reading their own meter would disregard the red numbers, as they are used for checking meter accuracy.

I remember my very first dial meter I ever read when I needed to look at the 10 ths of a unit dial to determine what the 10,000kwhs was because all the dials were on borders. There are times when they all line up like that..lesson over.This is a system account and does not represent a real person. To contact the Forum Team email forumteam@moneysavingexpert.com0 -

Might be helpful to others, but no need for you to give me a lesson on how to read a dial meter.[Deleted User] wrote:Why did you change your user name 'sacsquacco'?
You haven't answered my question, why a new identity, 'meter reading monkey', you've even removed your signature.0
