    Wonder whether we'll hear from @[Deleted User] again, or just be left in the dark and none the wiser? 🤔

    Fairly sure electricity test meters are installed in series with the existing meter rather than send the meter away for testing (its been a while)
    Gas meters I think are sent away for testing.

    As above - ask for a test meter, (accept that you will temporarily have to pay for it).

    The ones I have seen are used in series and are left in  position for weeks .
