Does the cost we see on our IHD include standing charge? Will I still get Economy 10 times?

Does the cost we see on smart meter include the standing charges. Also how do you find the rates on the smart meter? or doesn’t it show? Do I still get off peak hours as before e10 I had smart meter ?

Hi @mumorg ,

Yup, the standing charges do show on Smart Meters and on IHDs, both the configured rates and costs factor them in.

Please post photos, we’ll help you locate them. I need photos of both the meters and IHD.

Economy 10 no longer exists with Smart Meters either I’m afraid.

I have an electric wet heat system that runs on economy 10 so if ovo say they don't do a smart e10 meter which I know they do as my neighbour has it I would end up with no heating except from midnight to 7am on an economy 7 meter .

You can still boost to get immediate heating if you need it - but using the boost function would be charged at Peak rates if used outside of Economy 7 hours.

    Should they all show standing charge unless their is an error 

    Do you know @Tim_OVO

     

    Just checked this and yes,  all In Home Displays incorporate the standing charge as part of the costs info displayed, for electricity and gas, and should be laid out in the technical specifications of each device.

    I am interested in economy 10 smart meters.

    @barnie Can you publish the make and model number of your neighbour’s economy 10 smart meter.

     

    Thanks
