My parents have switched from BG to eon, they have been to take the initial readings. Its their own home, not rented. Eon have written several times saying they have to come and do a gas safety check, my old man is convinced they are trying to push them onto a smart meter. They are now threatening to get an access order from court and charge him for it.
They don't know that BG did a safety check just before they switched, the guy said the meter was relatively new and all ok. There was a problem with leaky chimneys but they had the gas fires capped and replaced with electric.
Both BG and eon mentioned recent changes to the law, the only recent changes I can see relate to landlords not home owners
Are they trying it on to push a smart meter, or is there a requirement that the BG test won't fulfill for eon? On a related note, I'm looking at switching too and the supplier I am considering says there is no need for them to attend the property at all.
Thanks
