You would need to have the electricity smart meter installed first, and then contact your gas supplier to arrange the gas meter.BigBlueSky said:Out of interest. If you have a separate company for gas and electricity do you need to arrange smart meters separately ?

Thanks - I hadn't realised there was a specific order in which it needed to be done.MWT said:

Got my readings on the website now, so can I set up a variable dd online or do I need to ring/chat with them?0

The gas meter is battery powered so uses a short-range to the comms hub, the comms hub needs to receive mains power from the electricity smart meter, so that is why there is a specific sequence to this.BigBlueSky said:

Same here and there's no avenue on the site to challenge it. By the time the 6 month review came up, they'd be sitting on £225 of credit. Nice work if you can get it.BUFF said:
My initial reading is now showing & I apparently can now set up a fixed monthly DD online if I agree with their amount.DiseasedBunny said:Anyone else still waiting for BG to show the initial reading? I’ve entered it at least 3 times now and still both the app and account don’t show it
However, their suggested DD amount is more than 2.5x what I reckon it should be given my usage ...
Ah, hold on. After I submitted a 2nd reading a few days ago, they have now recalculated the amount to roughly what it should be. If you submit a mid-month reading I imagine the DD amount should subsequently be recalculated after a couple of days.0 -
So when should we send our next log of meter readings? Or do we wait for BG to ask for them?0

I believe they ask for them but for the sake of good housekeeping I just enter them every so often.DiseasedBunny said:So when should we send our next log of meter readings? Or do we wait for BG to ask for them?1 -
Anybody been contacted by NR administrators yet re monies owing ?
Had a "missed" phone call this a.m from 01273 code (Brighton) but no message left - I notice that NR in admin. has a Brighton addy.0 -
Why should the administrators phone you individually? Surely all due payments will be made via your account in due course.brewerdave said:Anybody been contacted by NR administrators yet re monies owing ?

By coercion if necessary.0 -
Had my final bill from NR estimated at 20/11 from a reading I gave them 22/11. It was close enough. But my NR account has now updated to show the reading I gave to BG when asked on 3/12. This is also shown in my BG account as my opening reading. No idea what this implies for the supply between 20/11 and 3/12, but have others seen similar?
