Halo, I have two electric meters, one for standard electricity, ie sockets and lights, the other for detestable storage heaters which I haven't used in 8yrs as they are too expensive to run. I use a small plug in oil filled radiator in the colder parts of winter to heat the one room and this is enough so I don't freeze. My question is I am being charged over £18 a month for a meter that hasn't counted any usage in all these years, I'd like a refund of that standing charget? I live alone on a disabled pension and cannot afford to be paying for things I don't use and don't want. If I could afford to get more practical heating that wouldn't cost a fortune to run I would have done so long ago and no I don't want unSmart meters thank you :o)

Hi,

Please note I’m only a forum volunteer.

This MIGHT be possible. Certainly, if the only meter in the property is at permanent zero movement, then OVO can consider a refund for Standing Charges. However, I can’t say for sure in your case.

If you no longer need the current setup, it may be worth converting to a standard setup instead as this may work out cheaper.

Thank you Blastoise, I will definitely look into it :o)
