Am I reading it correctly that it looks like the meter might have been recertified in 1992 and actually be older than that, too?jbuchanangb said:The meter is 30 years old. It has developed a fault. Your supplier should replace it ASAP really.
A quick double check of the listings suggests that the meter in question is a 35 year certification one so technically still in date from recertification, but seems as though it's failed anyway.🎉 MORTGAGE FREE (First time!) 30/09/2016 🎉 And now we go again…New mortgage taken 01/09/23 🏡
