This just happened to us. Our gas meter was last changed over 19 years ago and Octopus informed us it needed replacing. As un-smart meters aren't being fitted we had to have a smart gas meter and at the same time opted to get our 18 year old Electricity meter updated as well.
The switch over was carried out by an E-on fitter and he ran into no problems and within an hour of leaving our In Home Display (Chameleon SMETS2) was working and both meter readings were showing.
This was 3 weeks ago and everything seems fine.Working on an average 24hr cost compared to last months bill the figures look OK as well.
Bonus is that neither John nor I have to crawl under the stairs any more.
Sorry for going off topic.
