Going to see a new customer tomorrow. He thinks his new smart meter is reading higher than he thinks.
I don’t know the house, but guessing at still old fuseboard rather than mcb or rcd looking at the street address.
Anything easy I should be looking for to explain high usage?
I’ll suggest LED lamps, etc
I’ll do a global IR, earth loop on all circuits and clamp the tails when in use to give me current flow. But not going to spend a lot of time with a full EICR looking for an earth fault that may or may not be there.
I think the customer has been brainwashed into thinking a smartmeter would save him money.
