Hi
If you have a ‘Secure Liberty’ smart meter:
How to take readings
Both gas and electricity smart meters have a numerical keypad. Here’s what to do if you want to take a traditional meter reading:
Smart electricity meters on a standard tariff
- Press 9 on the keypad.
- Your smart meter screen will show a series of letters: IMP KWH.
- You’ll see 8 digits (e.g. 0001234.5) followed by kWh at the bottom right of the screen.
- This figure is your latest reading – if you’re giving a reading to your energy provider, they only need the first 7 digits.
Smart electricity meters on Economy 7
Your smart meter shows separate readings for your off-peak and daytime use.
- Press 6 on the keypad.
- Your screen may show BOOST VARIABLE followed by ACT RATE.
- During the night/off-peak hours you’ll then see IMP R01 followed by 8 digits. This is your night/off-peak reading – your energy provider only needs the first 7 digits.
- During the day/peak hours you’ll see IMP R02 followed by 8 digits. This is your day/peak reading – your energy provider only needs the first 7 digits.
If you’re giving a reading, whether it’s to Boost or another supplier, you need to give both readings, whatever time of day it is.
Smart gas meters
- Press 9 on the keypad.
- VOLUME will appear on your smart meter screen.
- You’ll see 6 digits (e.g. 00123.4) followed by an ‘m3’ symbol at the bottom right of the screen.
- This figure is your latest reading – if you’re giving a reading to your energy provider, they only need the first 5 digits.
