as I understand it the IHD gets its data from the meters which get their tariff data from the supplier, if all is working as designed.

Current Eon Next and EDF customer, ex Zog and Symbio. Don't think dual fuel saves money and don't like smart meters. Chronologically Gifted. If I offend let me know by private message, but I’ll continue to express my opinions nonetheless.

and does the IHD reading calculate on the rate inc the govt price guarantee or not?

@MAW

The IHD should calculate based on your bottom line unit prices, plus standing charges. If it doesn't then it isn't much use.

Personally, I find manual readings entered into a spreadsheet gives me a perfectly accurate representation of my costs. My last years energy bills matched my own calculations to the penny.

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.

My IHD (Duet II installed by Npower before the transfer to Eon Next) definitely displays the rate including the Govt Energy Price Guarantee- currently £0.322p per unit and £0.499p per day Standing Charge in my area, and also in reply to your earlier post: Yes my IHD shows the Standing Charge amount every day just after midnight.

Hi @MAW

Your IHD is indeed meant to show your daily standing charges along with your usage 😊. These charges are added on around midnight. So you'll wake up with the standing charges for the day being on there.
