Are any members customers?
I'm no expert, but that's what I thought as well - all the suppliers outsource their fitting to local subcontractors. Same with solar installs.Well all of the suppliers will contract out the fitting of the meters. You'd have thought that if you found your meters install in that state then you report it to Octopus and if I were Octopus I'd be prosecuting the electrician.

If he's seen more than one, then there is obviously a dodgy smart meter installer in his area & he should report that back to octopus and the distribution network supplier.How many of us would go to the meter and pull on the wires after they left, i would now if i read this it sounds like its not the first time he has seen this kind of dangerous workmanship.
DittoYes. Very pleased with the service I've had from them.
Well you wouldn't as a consumer...exactly why the electrician who is responsible should be prosecuted because it's unlikely to be caught by the consumer and is a potential fire or electrocution risk. If for some other reason the home owner wanted to check something around the meter and a loose live wire popped out it could not end well. It's for these reasons electricians have to be qualified and trained regularly and comply with strict regulations.How many of us would go to the meter and pull on the wires after they left, i would now if i read this it sounds like its not the first time he has seen this kind of dangerous workmanship.
Unless you want a smart meter, just ignore them. The electricity suppliers have targets to meet to install small meters, but you are under no obligation to get one installed. Everything they say about inaccuracies, you "must" etc is just scare tactics. I was with SSE for years and they kept on badgering me and I just ignored them for about 5 yearsThey've also been badgering me to get smart meters as apparently my existing meters may now no longer be accurate because of their age and they can only be replaced with smart meters now. If I go ahead with that I'll be carefully inspecting their work after
Wow, first time I've heard about that. Might make charging your Tesla interesting, most EV chargers are 30A, doesn't leave much overhead. Add an air source heat pump to that...The new houses being built near me are already having restricted power supplies via lower rated main fuses...my home has a 100a fuse but new homes have a 50a fuse fitted so government restricted power supply is already being implemented.
Yeah I've been fighting it
