Do you mean by 'online' via a smart meter? - in which case I think that may be right, it should also be possible to diagnose errors remotely. With a dumb meter the meter must be read at least once a year. Additionally gas meters may need to be physically checked in case of issues with gas leakage. Meters are anyway replaced on a regular basis (though not frequently).

The reference to "online" above by yeknomyeknom (good name btw!) was in response to my saying "I regularly send them readings online" - so nothing to do with a smart meter!

Not sure about that. It will take some time to roll out smart meters and prepayment meters will still exist. And I would think that even smart meters will have to be checked in the same way meters are now for safety reasons. I assume criminals still bypass meters too, so who will check for that?

    • This is so helpful, everyone, thank you. @green bean Yes we have just (as of yesterday) installed the same external blinds you mention! We already had blackout blinds and we now have the external awnings too. Of course that will guarantee the end of the summer sunshine but I can see that they're going to be helpful as they let the light through but not the glare of the sun - I'm fed up of working in darkness with both the blackout blinds closed on sunny days. We'll see how we go with those for a bit but I reckon we'll get a couple of quotes from the other recommendations in case we end up going the whole hog. @penfold Love the idea of getting solar+batteries to offset the electricity usage so will look into that.  Thanks, all.
    • Yes Sally, I've emailed him several times since Xmas. I don't contact Councillors frequently but when I've done so over the years, I've found them generally engaged and responsive. It's unprecedented to just be ignored and, regardless of the query I'm raising, that's worrying from the point of view of  our local democratic voice. Its a Councillors role to represent local people! A different thread on here made reference to a lack of response from one of our ward councillors and, since there are only two, I'm guessing it's the same one. I'm following up my own concern separately but I'm asking on here about whether others have had the same problem. I'd like to think it's a one-off but, increasingly, I suspect it's not. Hope that gives a bit more context!
