Energy suppliers, like Fuse, arrange and install these meters, meaning homeowners do not choose their specific smart meter model. Smart meters in Great Britain are regulated by Ofgem, ensuring standards for installation and operation. The SMETS2 standard ensures interoperability between meters and suppliers, allowing for smoother switching. ### Key features and benefits for homeowners Smart meters, such as the EDMI GS-60B, automatically send readings to your energy supplier, leading to accurate billing and fewer estimated bills. Gas meters measure consumption in cubic metres (m³) or cubic feet (ft³), which is then converted to kilowatt-hours (kWh) for billing purposes. This conversion provides consistent billing across different energy types. The EDMI GS-60B operates on battery power, which is standard for gas meters. ## Reading your EDMI GS-60B meter Knowing how to read your EDMI GS-60B meter is essential for monitoring your gas usage and verifying your bills. ### Locating the display and buttons Your EDMI GS-60B meter typically has a digital display and buttons, often labelled 'A' and 'B', for navigation. These are usually on the front of the meter and show your current reading and other messages. ### How to take a reading To take a reading, press one of the buttons (often 'A') to activate the display. Your current gas reading, usually in m³, will appear. Note down all the numbers on the main display, ignoring any after a decimal point or in a different colour. For more detailed guidance, you can learn how to read your smart meter. ### Interpreting display symbols and information The meter's display may show various symbols or messages. These could indicate signal strength, battery status, or if the meter is sending data. If you are unsure about a specific symbol, it is best to consult your energy supplier's guidance or contact them directly. ## Common issues and troubleshooting Smart meters are generally reliable, but occasional issues can arise. Here is how to approach some common problems. ### Error codes and warnings If your EDMI GS-60B display shows unusual symbols or error codes, it often signals a fault or a low battery. While some issues might be temporary, persistent warnings should prompt further investigation. Your energy supplier can provide specific meanings for error codes relevant to your meter model. ### Blank screen or low battery concerns If your meter screen is blank, it might be in power-saving mode. Pressing a button should reactivate it. However, a completely blank screen that does not respond could indicate a dead battery. It is crucial to understand that the battery in a gas meter is sealed and cannot be replaced by you or an engineer. If the battery is depleted, a meter exchange (replacement of the entire meter) is required. > **What happens if my smart gas meter battery dies?** > > A fully depleted battery in some SMETS1 smart gas meters can cause the gas supply to cut off as a safety mechanism. This means you will lose your gas supply until the meter is exchanged by your energy supplier. For other smart meters, a dead battery may primarily affect the meter's ability to send readings. ### Restoring gas supply after an interruption If your gas supply has been interrupted due to a meter issue, such as a dead battery on an older SMETS1 meter, you will need to contact your energy supplier. They will arrange for a meter exchange to restore your supply. If the interruption is due to running out of credit on a prepayment meter, your supplier can guide you through the top-up process and how to re-enable your supply. The average UK home uses around 9,500 kWh of gas per year, according to Ofgem. ## When to contact your energy supplier While basic troubleshooting can resolve minor issues, some problems require professional intervention. ### Unresolved issues and suspected faults If basic troubleshooting does not resolve issues like persistent error codes or a blank screen on your EDMI GS-60B meter, or if you suspect a fault, contact your energy supplier. They have the expertise to diagnose and resolve more complex problems. ### Meter replacement and upgrades Homeowners in Great Britain do not choose their smart meter model. If your meter's battery is depleted or if there is a significant fault that cannot be repaired, your energy supplier will arrange a meter exchange. This ensures you continue to have an accurate and functioning meter.
