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.
