03 June 2025
Here in Stirling we have experienced several weeks of sunny, warm weather! Hopefully this means your thermostat is turned down and energy usage reduced! In July, the Energy Price Cap will be reduced by 7% to £1,720, hopefully leading to some additional savings for households. Most importantly this month is the Radio TeleSwitch Turn Off happening on 30 June 2025. See below for more information and our case study as an example of how we can help if your household is affected! We have also launched our energy specific inbox - [email protected] which you can email directly if you are seeking support with your energy.
RTS Off 30 June
As you may have seen on TV, the Radio TeleSwitch turn off is taking place at the end of June. This means that RTS Meters will no longer function and could mean that your heating and hot water will be turned off. It could also mean that the incorrect tariff may be attached to your energy account leading to higher bills. Its important you contact your supplier if you have an RTS meter and request an appointment for a new meter to be installed ASAP.
Case Study
The client reached out to the energy team for support, as they had an RTS meter and were struggling to get their supplier to install a replacement. The client was understandably anxious, having already had four unsuccessful engineer visits where the meter was not changed.
Due to the client's vulnerabilities, two members of the energy team visited them at home. They confirmed the presence of an RTS meter that needed to be replaced before the upcoming switch-off. The team contacted the client’s energy supplier directly and successfully arranged for a qualified engineer to attend and replace the meter in time.
The client felt greatly relieved knowing the meter had finally been changed and no longer had to worry about losing their heating.
