[QUOTE="ProDave, post: 505108, member: 6969"] What do your electricity bills say? Is there a Day and Night, or Peak and Off peak reading? Agreed the thin grey wire should be in terminal 5 of the meter, which becomes live during the off peak time. This will energise the contactor in the off peak consumer unit. If your bill is showing 2 rates then all that is needed is an electrician to connect that thin grey wire and test it. But why was it disconnected in the first place. The trouble with rental properties is tenants have a habit of doing strange things, like deciding they don't want off peak (even though they have storage heaters) and leaving their mess for the landlord or next tenant to sort out. I had months of trouble because one tenant had been submitting the peak and off peak readings reversed. I only noticed when trying to sell the property. It took 2 meter readers visits and ages to sort out as they had to contact precious tenants to "correct" their bills. [/QUOTE]
