Dual electricity meter

    Hi all,
    Today I have received my first bill with a dual meter and I have noticed that the night meter has not moved by a single unit in the last month. The meters are old and we have just moved in.
    Questions:
    1) What are the day/night switch times?
    2) Is the night meter supposed to work only with storage heating (which we don't have) or should it work with any electricity usage in the house at nighttime?
    3) How can I make sure it's working correctly?

    Thanks

    Another way to check same thing. Check the MCC code on the top right of your bill. Is is MCC02, or MCC03?

    MCC03 is night rate for storage heating only.

    If you have two meters one is for night storage heating and the other is for all other usage.

    If you have a meter with two sets of numbers all your night usage should be at the off peak rate and recorded on one of the dials.
