Moving into a home with an economy meter

Hi all,
I will be moving into a home which has an economy (7? i think) meter. There are no storage heaters nor would we be running the washing machine over night. 
I've never had any experience with these meters so unsure if an economy tariff would end up more expensive for me.
We are both FTB after living with parents so we don't really have a baseline usage to estimate from. 
Could anybody tell me if I'd need to have an economy tariff due to this meter or could I use a standard type tariff?
If it helps, there is no smart meter in the property and it has a combi boiler.
Many thanks

You may be wise to take photographs of the meter readings when you move in. This will be proof, should you receive an excessive bill.

Also ECON 7 day rates tend to be more than other tariffs.

Good luck in your new home.
