Default Meter Calibration/Check??

I have owned my present house for over twenty years & during this time my gas/electricity meters have never received any maintenance, never been checked or calibrated so I figured they must be well over due to be at very least checked so I contacted my joint utilities supplier who said that they would not be due to checked until 2018, does anyone know if this is correct please?

Well your gas meter should be renewed if it is this age as it will be a 4 digit meter and should be changed to a metric meter (5 digit) the date will be on your meter next to the reading. Quite often meters are on a programme for renewal but can sit in the system for years and will occasionally go out to engineers when their workload is light and if you arent in then its returned back to the programme.

Electric meters are required to be changed every 10 years (digital) or 20 years (dial & analogue digits). They are simply swapped out as they approach the required dates. If they say 2018, then the elec meter must have been changed in 1998 at some time.

They have probably had to submit new plans for a 'ten digit' the way things are going.
