Eon co rep HelenA. I have looked at my bills and my MTC code on my MPAN changed from 801 to 500 when we changed to Eon why would his happen?

My 3 meters serve different parts of the house. One is for a garden shed that was used as a workshop once by the former occupant.

What can I do to allow us to change supplier?

[FONT=&quot]Morning scarpo,

I've had a look at the codes that you have there shouldn't make a difference to changing supplier. They are common across the industry.

When you change supplier, it's the MPAN and meter serial number that is needed. The other numbers/codes are industry codes.

I can see why there may be three meters, if there's a workshop/outbuildings etc.

As others have said, you could see about getting everything on the one meter, this would be down to yourself for the cost and the electrician though.

As above, changing supplier will be a case of ringing round and asking other companies individually.

Thank you

Re the advise about changing supplier, the key thing is not that you have 3 meters and 3 MPANs it is how many Main Fuses (DNO fuse) you have. If it is 3 then all 3 MPANs are independent and can be switched at will. If you don't have 3 then all 3 have to be switched together because if not there can be issues around things like energisation status when 1 fuse controls all 3.

Think that 3 was meant to be a 1 Spiro.

In addition to that, if you have 3 fuses and the meters can be switched independently, then you can rewire to a single meter and then switch to a zero standing charge tariff on the other two and effectively pay nothing for them.

That could be cheaper than asking for two to be de-energised.

Sounds like you might have a three-phase install?

If so it's possibly not as simple as turning off two of the meters... perhaps you have some three-phase equipment, e.g. a large air source heat pump, or a 22kW electric car charging point, etc.
