Radio Teleswitch Service (RTS) switch off
We have been asked by Neighbourhood Watch Scotland to remind people about the Radio Teleswitch Service (RTS) switch off, scheduled for 30th June 2025.
The switch off will affect households using older electricity meters to heat their home and hot water and now need to be replaced (at no cost). Failure to do so could mean that the heating and hot water systems may not work properly. We have attached a note from them for your information.
