I have send photos of meter, E-On confirm a twin tariff was installed in 2018. I am waiting for a remote software update. I am told their is a backlog. I was told that E-on have problems, the 'computer is converting unrequested twin tariffs to single tariffs' on transfer from other energy companies, (that is not my problem, but might be cause of backlog, with no end date). Request for Economy 7 tariff June 4th, E-on reminded on Jul 4th on completion of energy transfer from British Gas. Buyer keen to buy..............

Level 927 Hours Ago@Issa
It's illegal to rent a property with an MEEC (EPC in old money) lower than an E rating. If the buyer intends to rent the property out, then the onus is on them to make any changes to bring the property up to scratch.
The property I'm currently renting had a rating one point above an F. Economy 7 would have had no impact on the score. I've dragged it up to a C since living here, but to be fair, it's a 200 year old detached stone-built property which had ample scope for improvement. Electric heating is not the way to do it. Unfortunately, oil or biomass isn't usually an option in most flats.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 45 Minutes AgoThe EPC assessors have said that when they manually checked they found the EPC will go up, on a re-test, to 41 points, E rating, if I return the meter to an Economy 7 tariff. The present EPC is a computer calculation.
Other suggestions made by the assessors are to re-install storage heaters or have a zip electric boiler (with Economy 7 tariff) installed or increase insulation to 1 wall shared with common hall (which has no external walls) ( on blogs- I believe by fitting a heater in the common hallway would have overcome this problem-cheap solution, but no space available in very small hall. The Buyer does not want to buy property if he is unable to rent out immediately, he needs the flat to have E rating. The future tenant is a friend he is helping out. I need a E rating if the sale falls through. The flat has been empty since May waiting....... I spent a month trying to get British Gas to change tariff.
In the future most flats/housing will depend on Electricity for heating. All new builds from 2030 will not include a gas boiler. Thank you, all, for passing on your thoughts.
