[QUOTE="chrispearce20, post: 522962, member: 34527"] Hello, Just purchased my first flat, it is 100% electric ( no gas) and has an economy 7 meter. I spoke to my neighbours this morning, who said they and most residents have changed to smart meters. Due to the fact that our flats have panel heaters not storage heaters, so economy 7 does not end up averaging any cheaper in general. I think I would also like a smart meter, for ease of use, and to keeps things simpler. However currently my water tank is linked to a Horstmann Electronic 7 thermostat similar to this: [URL]https://tinyurl.com/mr3djsuc[/URL] this system controls a dual element water tank. Bottom element using of-peak power supply and top element (boost) using on-peak supply. If an energy provider switched me to a new smart meter, would my bottom element then become redundant, and no longer work? will some sort of re-wiring be required or even a new thermostat? [/QUOTE]
