Smart Meters

Does the daily usage on the display include the standing charge. Or, is it just the energy used?.

Think its the latter as mine was always lower than the actual cost.

 

[rudd]

Inclusive on ours.

Mines inclusive. Not really much point in telling you the cost if it's only telling you part of it.

That's what I thought, but we seem to have conflicting replies here. Might have to ask my supplier

Mine seems to add the daily charge for both Gas and electric into the figure for electric, if I check it early in the morning gas is set to 0p and Electric around 80p

Look at £ usage and Kwh (?) usage.

You should be able to work it out

 

[Dan The Man]

Should he standing charge also

 

[BMX Bandit]

Just ignore it. Just go on about ya day without looking at it.

 

[Darlo1973]

Check it just after midnight and it should start on 50p or whatever the standing charge is

Will check that, if it starts at 85p then it does include sc.

Normally both.
Most have an App that you can view on phone which tells you both aswell

 

[No7]

We have British Gas, the standing charge is included in the daily usage amount

Just bear in mind that article is 3 or 4 years old. I've recently had them installed now they're finally getting better.

I don't want one.

 

[Stormo]

I quite like having one. I’ve probably saved a few quid keeping an eye on it.

Standing charges are a disgrace whoever you are with

On a par with old line rental charges for landlines.
