Nov 30, 2022 at 23:19 comment added dandavis i would run the hot air on it for much longer, like 15 mins at least. If you can remove the lens, applying fog-x or old-school soap (eg glycerin) would be advised.
Nov 30, 2022 at 12:42 comment added Vilkku @Tetsujin You are correct, the details for this are off-topic for the question itself, but over here (Finland) the meters are owned by the building (we own the apartment but a separate "building company" owns the building, very common here but apparently not everywhere). Other meters are having the same issue and we are facing having to change the meters in all apartments, which is potentially quite expensive, and costs would be paid by the inhabitants. So I'm not just trying to get correct readings for ourselves, but also see if we could save some money for now
Nov 30, 2022 at 12:36 comment added Vilkku @HandyHowie I'm not sure and now looking into it it does seem likely that it could be because of fogging up - I edited the question to make it even clearer that I don't really know what has happened. The shape of the clear area does not seem to change.

Nov 30, 2022 at 12:03 comment added Ecnerwal This would appear to be "building maintenance's" problem to solve. Probably with a new meter (or new meter cover) that they tried to avoid installing when they drilled the unhelpful hole.
Nov 30, 2022 at 11:27 comment added Tetsujin Who owns the meter? it would be their responsibility - plus if no-one can read it, how can they charge you appropriately? [In the UK, the power/water supplier owns the meter, not the person who owns the property, & you are not allowed to interfere with them at all.]
Nov 30, 2022 at 10:57 comment added HandyHowie Are you sure that is condensation and it is not that the plastic has fogged up? Does the shape of the clear area ever change? Some adhesives can cause plastic to fog like this.
