Linky woes
Be very cautious before you allow EDF to install the new Linky electricity meters without being assured that everything in your property works afterwards (ie. the pool heater, oven, kettle etc).
Following a 20-day nightmare there was still no resolution. The electricity supply from the new meter keeps cutting supply to the house. We are going round in circles, with everyone blaming one another.

Editor’s note: Linky says this fault could be caused by excess power. To check if this is so, press the ‘+’ key and scroll until you see a display that reads either ‘puissance dépassée’ or gives a number followed by the words ‘puissance souscrite’.
