Your existing meter may already be switched by radio for the rate
change, and the timeswitch may only be controlling the off-peak CU,
i.e. it's your responsibility to not run your storage heaters on peak
rate electricity. If the timeswitch is controlling the rate change
there will probably be a pair of lightweight wires back to the meter as
well as the heavyweight meter tails to the CUs and the timeswitch will
(should) be security sealed.

If the timeswitch is not controlling the rate change then it will
probably be a simple job to pull the old meter off the base and pop the
new one on, i.e. the meter changer will not be doing any wiring at all.

When my meter was changed last yaer they fitted a digital meter,this
meter has a small wire coming from the timeswitch (this was left alone,it
also switches the storage heaters on/off) which controls which rate is
being charged

Hi Martin,

Ok let's hope they leave my timeswitch alone then .. ;-)

All the best ..

this was with Hydro Electric,don't know if they do the same in other
regions
