Anyone else use EDF without a smart meter and am I missing something?

Yes, I do and yes you are

Work it out yourself.  I could tell you in about 5 minutes what my gas cost has been since the last bill, it ain't rocket science as they say.

edit: £77.29, there you go.  And that included reading my meter, downloading the CV values from NG and working out the average and calculating the bill.

Yeap

Also decided to create a spreadsheet and keep my own numbers for the next 6 months like we used to in 1950s. Great customer service

I ask Chat for a bill every couple of months.

I can get a billed every 2 months? Problem solved👍

The opposite of the posts that we have been seeing recently with people saying "why is my supplier billing me monthly now and not quarterly, I don't want to pay so often as that!"

Well we, like most people, pay monthly anyway. Just not got a clue what we should be paying

Yes I have EDF as my supplier for 2 properties, one of which is Dual Fuel and the other is Economy 7. Neither property has smart meters.

Billing is every six months and I work out costs each month in a simple spreadsheet to ensure monthly DD's are on track.

I have no desire to have smart meters installed and will only consider changing that view if I see a tangible financial benefit for myself.

Yeap. Also created my own tally sheet like we did in the 1950s👍

Do you not get a "smart" section in your EDF on-line account where they display your daily usage and costs? I'm sure I did when I was with EDF last year.

If you want monthly bills, the only way I found to get them out of EDF was by switching to exact monthly DD.

Hi.  I look after three accounts with EDF, they got moved there when ZOG Energy closed.  I have been getting bombarded with text messages and emails from EDF telling me to get smart gas meters installed.   I was tired of it so agreed.  I really don't see the point as like you said they only want two readings each year.  I just want them off my back.

I'm in a similar position with EDF. I've told them over the phone and via their website , that there is no point to fitting a "smart" gas meter until I have a "smart" electricity meter fitted .
I've finally got a date from BG to fit that - but in view of BG's general performance I'm not holding my breath re the arrival of the fitter on the appointed day !!
