We’re receiving a high number of applications and are taking longer than we’d like to arrange appointments, your application is in progress and there is no need to get back in touch with us.

More information about what you can expect while we process your application is available here.

About your meter application


Thank you for submitting a meter application. We’re currently receiving a very high number of meter applications so it may take us longer than usual to get back to you.

Don’t worry, there is no need to get back in touch with us and here’s what you can expect while we process your application:

You’ll get a reduced charge

We are in the process of applying a reduced charge from date of application to all customers who have applied and are waiting for their survey appointment. We’ll write to you to confirm once this is in place.

Getting a meter survey appointment

If you have not received a date for a meter application yet you will receive a call from a 0330 number when we are trying to arrange an appointment with you. If we’re unable to contact you, we will send you a text with your appointment of a meter survey. If this date does not work for you then please call us back to re-arrange your appointment.

What happens on the day?

On the day of your appointment our surveyors will assess whether we can install a meter at the property. Our policy is to install our meters externally, but where this is not possible, we may need to assess whether we can install one internally instead. We’ll let you know on the day if this is the case.

What happens after the appointment?

If we’ve installed a meter, we’ll update your account, confirm that you are now billed on the meter and change your payment arrangement to reflect metered billing. If we’ve been unable to install a meter you’ll remain on the reduced charge that we applied during your application process.
