Smart meter with gravity fed system

[Longshanks]

Hi

My mother-in-law wants a smart meter fitted. (Husband died recently and living on her own etc)

She still has the old, gravity fed, system. Would that be compatible with the new meter?

Thanks

I do not understand the question

What makes you think not?
A meter just records the units used
BUT I will not be getting a smart meter because when there is an issue, one needs plenty of time and patience to get the matter resolved like when the battery dies and no gas to appliances. Gas Transporter will not deal with it. Your service provider may not always be easy to reach

I could be wrong. Going by issues I am familiar with and aware of some folk had.

Would the supplier insist on combi boiler fitted before smart meter installation.

A gravity system, has absolutely no relevance to Smart meters, or their operation. Point is, Smart meters open the door to numerous special tariffs, not open with a dumb meter..

Transporter will not deal with it. Your service provider may not always be easy to reach

I was a very early adopter, I have had zero similar issues. I can be in touch with my energy provider within an hour, if I should need to. Even better, my energy supplier can be advised immediately my supply is lost, by the Smart meter.

What’s the boiler type got to do with a smart meter ?
