New tenant and NSR's

Son has just moved into a property with NSR (or NSH if you like), and has a "key" to put credit on the meter (a 2 rate day/night meter) which while "Economy 7" ready has discovered the previous tenant had all her leccy on 1 standard rate...meaning the night storage was using 13p/unit leccy after 10pm (approx) not the 6p/unit of Economy 7 (or its equivalent)

He has slimline wall heaters with timers which ive never seen as NSH before and can his key meter be kept for a monthly tariff?

    Are you sure that they are night storage heaters - check the make and model numbers on each of them to find out.

    the ones with timers are probably jus tpanel heaters. do they get warm within a fwe minutes of turning them on. NSH take long while to heat up

    Your son needs to register with the existing electricity supplier, will probably be provided with a new key of his own, and will then get the E7 tariff (unless he requests something dofferent, and the supplier agrees)

    Until then, he will be crediting the ex-tenant's account, and I don't think he want's to be doing that. :cool:

    Once that is done, probably worth him consulting a comparison site and finding the best deal for him (although there's not much in it nowadays since price caps are in force for PPM customers)
