Right …
It’s official.
I had a failed gas meter fitting, yesterday.
The engineer that visited, couldn’t install the pay as you go gas meter: as he would’ve needed to wire what he called a communications hub into my electricity meter …
The process stood a very good chance of wiping out my remaining credit.
So …
No installation, then.
As the engineer couldn’t arrange it?
I’ve had to contact my supplier’s office to arrange it: who tell me it’s going to take another 28 days.
My suppliers, SSE?
Seem keen to delay things: for a customer who’s short of cash.

The one thing I do know … ?
Is that it’s possible — from what the engineer told me — to have have both installed.
As the location of my gas meter is comparatively near to my electricity meter.
The gas meters for each flat are outside the building, and on street level.
Each flat’s electricity meter is in a cupboard near its front door.
Effectively? Given most of the flats are on the upper floors?
The meters for each flat are more than the ten meters the engineer told me was a maximum communication distance.
Any of my neighbours above the ground floor?
Who want a smart meter?
Will have issues.
