No, because he hasn’t tested the boiler and the cooker connections.

My electric meter easy. Gas one in the cellar and mounted side on - so you
have to reach over to read it, and need a torch. And likely get dirty in
the process.

So decided to change to smart. So even if the company couldn't get a
reading due to a connection problem, I could easily on the IHD.

SMS chap who came to change them didn't. Said the gas one was too awkward,
and he'd need help. Also said not enough room for the smart electric one -
so left having done nothing.

Booked a second appointment. That chap changed them both quickly and
without comment.
