I did the sums the other day (we have a dual rate meter here - but no
sensible use for it). Relatively high electrical use (about 25 kWh/day,
7/night). And estimate its probably costing about £120/year extra over a
single rate meter when you take into accounts the slightly higher day
rate and standing charge. I could never quite understand why they
insisted on using a split rate tariff just because the meter can measure
that way. I have a suspicion that if I ask them to change it they will
only offer s smart meter.

As I have said here previously, my off-peak usage is about 30%,
and ever since I started keeping records nearly 30 years ago, E7
has been cheaper than a standard tariff, generally by about £4
per month.

However when my Tonic deal was expiring, I looked at the usual
comparisons and found that the dual fuel non-E7 tariff Avro are
offering, compared with my previous good deal from Tonik, reduces
my electricity costs slightly and my gas costs quite a bit, and
the daily charge is also less.

They simply apply the same tariff to both readings, absolutely no
call for a meter change. It may be worth your while looking at
the numbers.
