Urgent warning to 150,000 Brits with outdated electricity meters
- The RTS signal is being phased out this summer, affecting roughly 150,000 UK households.
- The phase-out resumes in March for England and Wales and April for Scotland after a winter pause.
- Energy UK and regulator Ofgem urge customers to book engineer visits to replace RTS meters with smart meters.
- Replacing meters helps maintain heating and hot water control and access to more tariffs.
- The RTS phase-out coincides with a long-term risk of RTS infrastructure failure.
- Authorities advise customers to contact their supplier for tariff guidance after replacement.
- RTS meters may be replaced with smart meters offering broader tariff options.
- RTS meters are identified by marks like 'Radio Teleswitch' on the switch box or in homes with storage heaters.
- A dedicated RTS page from Ofgem provides information for households.
