we had a dual meter when we moved into the current place and had to get them to remove it and put in a single dial meter to go on a normal electricity tariff.
If you have a load of servers in your residence you don't want economy 7 anyway AtW they rip you off silly with the daytime rate.
TBH i dunno why the previous lot had it at our house, it has gas central heating not storage heaters so they couldn't have sved any moeny anyway, probably too stupid to phone up the electricity co and get the mter changed i guess.

Originally posted by AtWAnyone using that plan pricing of cheaper night time electricity? Does it require a special meter or normal one (with just one reading of how many kWh used)???
I also have a clock thing next it that shows when its normal and low, looks very lates 70's early 80's.
Just had my electricty bill in, Ive been really careful with what I use but was truely shocked at how much it had gone up by.
I make sure I use the washing machine, dish washer late at night, neighbours didnt appreciate me mowing the lawn at 1am though

Moral of the story – NEVER leave a washing machine running unattended.

Last place I rented with economy seven had one meter with two dials, one recording normal usage and one recording cheap rate usage. It's crap, I recall loads of different tariffs depending upon how electricity used in the different bands. If you are running a small aluminium smelting plant in the middle of night, your probably onto a winner.
