If off peak means E7 then I am using E7 for lights, computer, fridge, etc. I don't use electricity for hot water tank because google says: AI Overview Generally, gas for hot water is cheaper than Economy 7 electricity, especially with the current energy price cap. While Economy 7 offers...

I don't have time for tracking. Also, if the price goes up and down then it's like playing casino with the bills. You could be hit with a big one when you least expect it. I don't use electricity for water heating. The off peak meter count ticks over anyway. That means the off peak applies to...

I use electricity 24 hours a day. The off peak is not just for the water (storage?) heater. The heater will only be needed if gas fails once every 25 years.

I am east of city of london. How do I work out what is the typical rate in my area?

OVO doesn't say if I have economy 7. I have the following tariff. What kind of tariff is it, and is it any good?

Well their time service is on 800kw, bigger than the RTS at 500kw. China can make bigger ones if they really wanted to.

Pretty sure china has bigger ones since it has to cover a bigger territory. My old 24 inch sony monitor's CRT looked about that size. I didn't have a trolley. So, I had to roll it upstairs.

Anything is possible if you have the model number. China will make it in a jiffy if there is a market.

So long as you have the specs they can make it. It comes down to if you want them. There is absolutely no reason why they can't modernise it during the making process.

You presumption could be wrong. They could be changing it for the sake of changing it. Changing it would create profit for the insiders who would award contracts to friends and families. Kickbacks then follow. If you have the valve model number, let me check for you if it's available off the...

Why would they exaggerate? So, you think they suddenly don't want people to move over to smart meter?

They said 300k household still using RTS. Or aliexpress. Don't care so long as cheap and quick.

Seems more economical to replace the entire valve with a china unit.

Not little used. 300k households use it.

Did not refuse. Just didn't have time to talk to them.

I was contacted since 3 years ago on a regular basis about changing the meter. So, they did contact in advance of the switch off. They may not necessarily have to tell you the exact details for the change because it would just create confusion for most people.

Alright then, they must have found some new valves from china. In that case, I will hold fire on requesting a meter change.

It wasn't useful to anyone. I don't use temu. Aliexpress is my go to.

Well, we are after the switch off deadline, and my lights, fridge, and computer are still working. That will do me for now. I will get the meter changed in a couple of months when I am less entangled with things. I assume I am now on peak rate 24/7. Low rate should be handy since I have to keep...

Is this "BBC long wave radio 4 transmitter" the RTS being turned off? If I look, I may be able to find a china valve for them. Honestly, I am not into electrics to understand what you are saying.
