old electric meter replacement

iansp

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?

I would let your supplier know, and get them to note it on your account that you have informed them.

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

Nearly right , but not spot on. its reading 06481 actually.

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.

Its important to get the reading 100% correct Frugal, supplier may start billing standing charges (Eon ) with any usage at all, even one unit. This is how to read a dial meter. Always start from left to right, the (10.000kwh dial) with constant reference to the dial to the right for any dial which is on on near a border right up to the single kwh dial with reference to the 10 ths dial if needed.
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.

Might be helpful to others, but no need for you to give me a lesson on how to read a dial meter.

You haven't answered my question, why a new identity, 'meter reading monkey', you've even removed your signature.
