Economy 7

[Michael Campbell-Bell]

I am not an electrician. I’m a fare paying passenger on the energy roller coaster.

ECONOMY 7
I asked UW for economy 7 a year ago and they said I needed a smart meter. I told them that I don’t have an adequate signal and would need an external antenna (transponder). They ignored my advice and after ONE YEAR and much pestering they went ahead and fitted a Smart meter anyway. It has now been fitted and - surprise, surprise - can’t connect to the network - as I told them a year ago. I have asked for an external transponder, but UW will not try it - they say they are unable to connect me to econ 7 without it.

BTW. Flo gas has a transponder for bulk gas and that works. I assume they work on the same mobile network? Do they?

Is there an energy company that will fit an old fashioned duel rate meter?

I am exasperated. My annual bill is £13,000 and I reckon that with econ 7 I could trim £000s off my bill.

If your heating is gas, why is your electricity bill so high?

£13000 worth of electricity is a huge amount - do you live in a small castle?
