Is Your Home at Risk Due to an Outdated Electricity Meter?
Do you rely on a Radio Teleswitch meter? If so, there’s an important change coming that could impact your home’s heating and hot water supply.
What’s Happening?
The technology that supports your Radio Teleswitch meter is being switched off on June 30, 2025. This means that your meter may no longer function correctly, potentially disrupting your electricity supply. Without the ability to switch between peak and off-peak rates, your heating and hot water could stop working as expected.
What Should You Do?
We strongly recommend that you check next to your electricity meter for a small box resembling the one in the images provided below. If you have an RTS meter, contact your electricity supplier immediately to arrange an upgrade to a smart meter.
Why Is This So Urgent?
Electricity suppliers are responsible for replacing all RTS meters before the service ends, but this is a huge task. Many people are still using this metering setup, and time is running out. Acting now will help ensure you don’t experience service disruptions.
What If You Can’t Get a Smart Meter?
If, for any reason, you are unable to have a smart meter installed, your supplier must provide an alternative solution to prevent loss of supply or unfair charges. It’s their responsibility to keep your service running smoothly.
