      This sounds very British so it is almost certainly a “smart meter” that E.ON are installing (which transmits usage data, and can be cut off or set to pre-pay remotely)

      Could literally be the meter part if the unit which can be removed and replaced in less than 30s. Push plastic clips, pops off dead meter attach new one. Company now has a more accurate, allegedly, meter on their property you agree to maintain when you buy the house.

        Huh? Since when does the landlord agree to maintain the meters? Those have always been the respective company’s property that they must maintain. All you have to do is make sure they’re accessible.
