1- How old is it?

Some of the earlier SMETS2 meters may be reaching end of certification.

2- is the whole meter being replaced or just the communications hub (the top bit)?

Some 3G coms hubs are currently being replaced with 4G/5G ones.

Hey ​@Jacko6625,

 

We’d love to help you out, but we could use a bit more information. How did you find out that your meter is being replaced? It probably mentioned why it’s being replaced too. The more details you can share, the better we can support you.
