Radio Teleswitch Meters — and why they’re on their way out

Radio Teleswitch (RTS) Meters are energy meters that let electricity suppliers switch between different tariff rates using long wave radio frequencies. In some cases they can also directly control when the heating and hot water come on. Those radio frequencies are due to be switched off later this year and all RTS meters will need to be replaced before they stop working properly.

Some people may not even know they have an RTS meter – read National Citizens Advice’s blog to find out more and check what you can do before the signal is switched off.
