The build

Does that mean you are tied to British Gas for your electric supply? Britiish Gas is who I get my electric & gas from and although I have heard others whine abuot them, I have had no bother with them . I do keep getting requests from them to install a smart meter, but I would rather stay as I am. I may e wrong but a smart meter is a legal requirement for new homes methinks?

Yes we’re tied to them for 14 months. Then we will definitely be changing. We went with who ever was willing to install a meter the quickest. We wanted octopus. And will probably be changing to them once our contract is up. But they’re just not interested in installing meters on the island. We know of at least 3 other builds on the island that has gone with them. Now regretting it. One lot have been waiting 4 months and still haven’t been given a date for installation.
Like you say smart meter is none negotiable for new builds. Unfortunately they don’t work well up here because of the technology they use   . So it’s all going to be great fun   .
