Ancient gas meter

travelodger

I've got an ancient prepayment gas meter in my house. A boiler repair man mentioned that I maybe ought to get a new one fitted.

Who do I contact? I don't pay for gas to the gas board but Bulb Energy. Should I contact them or someone else? And will I have to pay for the new meter?

Thanks

Contact Bulb Energy, tell them that you would like a smart meter installed and also put on a standard tariff, not a prepayment - Prepayment meters are an expensive way of getting energy.

WHOOPS ... I totally forgot to say, I don't pre-pay, I get a monthly bill from Bulb. It's just that the meter was originally built for prepayments.

Thanks FreeBear I will ring them now.

Hi,


how ancient, coin meter?

The CH engineer thought it was older than him!

Mind you he was only a whippersnapper of about 40!

There will be a date on the meter.

I can't get into the tiny space in the corner in the dark. I will ask someone to do it for me.
