Economy 7 signal to be switched off

If your electrical installation is supplied by a

radio teleswitch or a radio teleswitch type

electricity meter, on 30th June 2025 the

signal that tells your meter to start providing

cheap rate electricity, and switches it off in

the morning, is being switched off.

Economy 7 has been with us for decades, but

its demise has not been very well advertised,

thousands of people could be left without any

heating or hot water after this date.

If you have storage heaters installed that charge

up overnight or, an economy 7 circuit to your

hot water cylinder, these will stop working after

this date. Lots of electricity supply companies

are using this situation and are insisting

customers upgrade to a smart meter. There

have been negative stories throughout all the

mainstream press regarding smart meters since

the government first introduced them and not

everybody is happy about having one installed.

Do you have a smart meter installed?

Well, the simple answer is no, nobody can

insist that you have a smart meter installed.

Each installation is unique and will require one

of several different methods in order to

maintain the supply to your storage heaters or

immersion tank without the installation of a

smart meter. Rest assured though, there is a

solution for every type of scenario. To discuss

your options, you can arrange for one of our

engineers to pop along and take a look.

This inspection visit is completely free of

charge, you are no obligation to carry out any

work we recommend and the visit will only take

around 15 minutes.

If you would like to arrange your free inspection visit and discuss your options,

contact your local office today. Make sure you’re not left out after the switch off.
