Look on the bright side, at least the export rates go up too!! Err….. guess they won’t.
-
this sounds a bit familiar! (Or am I mistaken?)
-
I’d be using the money saved to buy a stopcock key to get to the bottom (no pun!) of this. Can’t imagine why there’d be two stopcocks for one property.
-
is there a stop tap down each hole? If so, turn one and see if a neighbour complains or you lose water to your property. Do a double check by turning off the other. Then you’ll know which is your meter, then you can check the meter serial number on the meter and your bill. Have potential neighbours been away for a long…

let alone “a few times” I call BS.

I shouldn’t rely on guesswork in this situation!
-
Simple semantics. Are you perhaps a smart meter denier? Having my smart meter has saved me lots of money.
-
and a simple sanity test by running and stopping taps when someone is watching the little spinny dial. Turn off any adjacent stop tap and make sure it’s your water it turns off.

go for it! For everyone paying full price for their electric I’m getting mine at a massive saving.
-
Having a clamp meter and an efergy monitor will not be getting you any savings, only knowledge. You truly are likely to be missing out on savings by refusing a smart meter. Whats the certification date on your existing meter? FYI I have solar and a battery and on average I’m paying between 7 and 8p / kWh for ALL my…

So all these things can do is power the house, up to its max generation (800W?) at the time, and there’s no storage that can power the house when that pesky cloud passes by?
-
what’s the meter reading (and date) of the photo and what’s the reading now?
-
could you not book a days leave?
-
I find mine useful for electricity meter readings, saves going out into the wet. I do check it accurately tracks the actual meter (on the occasional non-rainy days!) Other than that it never gets a glance really.
-
so can you enter these readings into a spreadsheet (or do manual calcs) and produce what you think to be your correct usage?
-
Will that inflation rise be RPI or CPI, or will they maybe change it further down the line?
-
do you have any meter readings you’ve taken during this period?
-
Loving reading all these people paying full price for their electricity - guess someone has to fund my smart meter savings. Keep it up chaps and chapesses.
-
Enough capacity to store excess solar simply won’t work in the winter months, plus if you size it on summer’s production you’ll have way more than you likely need.
-
That’s surely part of the original battery sizing / quote process. I know it was when I got mine.
