Meter Time Wrong

ElectricShock136 · 2023-01-24 15:24:39

My energy usage over the last month has been much higher than usual. I am on Economy 7 with EDF. After checking the meter yesterday, I noticed that the time is a few hours out. EDF claim that this will not effect my costs but using storage heaters etc I am sceptical and worried I am being charged higher rates than I should…

I had this meter in a previous address and the economy7 times slipped a few minutes each time there was a power cut.

Ended up appropriately 1.45am the storage heater circuit became live, and 8.45am it flipped back to peak times for bst which was quite nice.

The storage heaters I had did not have a timer, only a switch on the wall so as long as they were on, they only took power when the circuit was live.
