I have a fully electric flat which has 2 separate single phase 100a feeds into it, one which only services the boiler and the other for everything else and the hot water tank. They are both connected to a mechanical time switch for day and night, I assume for economy 7 which I presently don’t have a tariff for. I’m trying to get smart meters but I’m being told they can only do it if they remove one of the feeds, which I’m not sure will be enough given all of the draw. Why can’t I maintain my two feeds with two smart meters?

What is the power rating of the boiler ( kW ) according to its instruction manual or a search online for the user guide of the part number on its label?

Smart meters cost (somebody else) many hundreds of pounds so it is not a good thing to get two if you don't need two. One smart meter and a bigger fuse and cable if necessary should do.

Do you currently pay 2 standing charges?
I’d have thought doing anything possible to get on a single supply would be worth it.

@wizzo227 boiler is 9kw, water heater is 3kw x2, then induction hubs, fridges, freezers, oven microwave, lighting, sockets etc.

@rwh202 yes we pay two standing charges, rewiring the flat or changing the heating system is not cheaper

Interesting folllow up questions but trying to keep it on track

the question is, is there a reason why the 2 meters I currently have at one address can’t be swapped for two smart meters at one address

Hey @Gfarquhar

I hope you're all well?

It sounds as though it's something we need to investigate further and I would advise to give our customer services a call on 0808 501 5200 lines are open Monday to Friday 9am - 5pm, as they will be able to confirm if we can offer smart meters if both meters are in use. 😊
