Does E.on still fit traditional meters for gas and electric? Say a traditional meter is old and nearing the end of it's life, can the customer request it be replaced like for like?

The customer can request it...
The meter is the energy suppliers responsibility, not yours.
You can decline the offer of a smart meter should you wish, while your existing meter is still within certification date.
Some parts of the country, like where I live, smart meters are just not an option so they can only replace mine with a conventional meter, or a smart meter operating in non-smart mode.Don't shoot me, I'm only the piano player. I DON'T work for or on behalf of EON.Next, but am willing to try and help if I can. Not on mains gas, mobile network or mains drainage. House heated almost entirely by baby dragons. -

Level 501-12-22I'm a electrician, most meters which are fitted in properties are over 20 years old and are better than the smart meters that are being fitted.
last time I looked meters dont have a certification date on them -
Level 9201-12-22They have to by law to comply with the metering regulations. No longer the little circular dot with the month and year on it, but indelibly marked on the meter somewhere, or on a tag sealing the metering element itself. I had to fanny about in a neighbours meter cupboard today...an old Smiths mechanical meter with the spinny disk and whirly wheels for the numbers. Now that's a meter.
The fact the tails were only 6mm and wired into the consumer unit with 30A choccy blocks taped up with electrical tape was neither here nor there...the meter itself was proper pukka👍Last edited by retrotecchie; 01-12-22 at 21:22.
