I am trying to get a smart meter installed (and 2 very old meters removed) at my late father’s house which we are purchasing.
I have been told that it is impossible at the moment by an OVO reply to my email requesting this.
Currently there is a very old (1970s) mechanical off peak meter installed (pictures attached), this hasn't been used since the 1980s.
The property was built with the old underfloor electric wire heating which was too expensive to run so was converted to gas central heating in the 1980s.
As you can see in the attached pictures there are no fuses installed in the off peak side of the supply. We will never want to use the off peak again.
We will be installing a new consumer unit and electric car charger after the purchase has been completed.
Is there any way forward with this?
