Smart Meter - Hot Water System

[C0ld5how3r]

Hello all,

We are having issues with hot water system now the days are getting colder. We're finding that we do not have hot water during the evenings when it comes time to shower. Has anyone experienced this? Seems to be worse with the cold weather and since getting a smart meter installed at the beginning of summer.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Your HWS is on a CL (controlled load) circuit ??

Check with your DNSP (or through AGL helpline), as some DNSPs have different CL tariffs available, with more than one cycle per day.
Here in SA CL is now set to come on during solar soak, when the state generally has more renewables available.

I know I have seen NSW users mention they have at least 2 (maybe more) tariff options, and CL options.

If you have a CL meter, you can see the specific times of use in your data, available to download form the AGL accounts page, go to usage and click the little download data icon.
