Do you have an RTS meter at home? Now is the time to act!
The Radio Teleswitch (RTS) Switch-Off is on the way. If you have an RTS meter, or aren’t sure, contact your energy supplier.
How do I know if I have an RTS meter in my home?
You might have a Radio Teleswitch (RTS) or Dynamically Teleswitched (DTS) meter if:
- your home has a separate switch box near your meter with a Radio Teleswitch label on it
- your home is heated using electricity or storage heaters (sometimes called panel heaters)
- there is no gas supply to your area, including households in rural areas and high-rise flats
- you get cheaper energy at different times of day, for example, you might be on an Economy 7, Economy 10, or Total Heat Total Control Tariff
You might find a teleswitch in the same box as your meter or in a separate box. If it's in a separate box it will usually be black. If you’re not sure, talk to your electricity provider today.
What should I do if I have an RTS meter, or I’m not sure if I do?
Contact your electricity supplier. They will be able to check with you whether you have an RTS meter. If you do, they’ll arrange to replace your meter free of charge.
