Thanks. How do I reply the message privately?Don't really fancy putting my account/home details in the public forum

Hi Nathan,Thanks for the response. It's not so much about having the heating time lengthened by deafult (because this will heat during peak power times), it's the functionality to trigger heating when needed. This is not needed all the time, but it is needed (say when guests stay over and there's a need to have 4-5 showers).The old meter had this functionality, so I expect and require the new one to have it too.

I'm in the same boat. My old digital display meter used to have a boost button to allow peak heating of my electric hot water, but the new digital meter does not have this feature.Now with the colder weather, the off-peak window of time to supply the hot water system is not long enough, especially with much colder incoming mains water, to have a full cylinder of hot water each day. What can be done to have the 'boost' function restored and/or added to the new meter? SA Power networks informed me ...
