dual tarriff

Hi,
Can you tell me how much it costs to have a dual tarriff meter installed please ?

Hi Mished,

There is no charge to change from a standard meter to a dual tariff (reduced night rate) one.

It is only worth the customer's while making such a change if they use three to four units during the night period - this is the amount it takes to ensure savings. With the dual tariff meter, the day rate and standing charge increase but the night rate is halved.

If a customer changes to a night meter and then wishes to change back to a standard one, there is a charge to do so.

Regards
Una

Thanks for the quick response Una. I will have a look at my usage and see if it would be worth my while.

Thanks again,
Mished

Hi mished,

Just to follow on from what Una has said above.

NightSaver offers a reduced night time price offering a 49.5% reduction on the day price. This price plan is only beneficial to customers who use at least 22% of total electricity usage within the NightSaver night time hours where you have an average annual electricity usage of 5,300kWhs.

• NightSaver DAY hours: 08:00am - 23:00pm (GMT). NightSaver NIGHT hours: 23:00pm - 08:00am (wintertime);
• NightSaver DAY hours: 09:00am - midnight. NightSaver NIGHT hours: Midnight - 09:00am (summertime)

Hope this helps.

Thanks,

David.

Thank you Una & David for the info.

I will have a look at my night time and overall usage as soon as I can. My bills seem to be pretty high the last while. Unfortunately a family of blue tits have decided to lay their eggs in my meter box :eek: so I cant check the meter until they leave..

Thanks again
Mished
