Re: Energy: SMART Meters

we had a meter on our LPG gas tank at the kennels. The idea was it would send a radio signal to the suppliers when the tank needed refilling. 3 replacement meters later and constant phone calls from us they gave up. seems where we were the signal wasn't received, a total waste of time with that bit of kit anyway. Suppose smart meters work the same way in sending energy usage to the supplier.

Re: Energy: SMART Meters

Same here Foxy.
They have repeatedly asked me and I have refused.

Re: Energy: SMART Meters

Hi

No smart meter for me.

I do have one of these and it has saved me a mint.

Re: Energy: SMART Meters

I would say so as well Speed.
Thank you for your replies already folks.
And I think the case against having a smart meter installed is proven right there!

Re: Energy: SMART Meters

Yes Swim.
I have the NEST which is very similar, and has saved us a mint also.

Re: Energy: SMART Meters

I said no to a SM simply because the man from Scottish Power told me that my kitchen units would need to be taken out in order to access the gas meter. I could not see my landlord agreeing to that, hence my no.

Re: Energy: SMART Meters

No smart meters here , they are a total waste of money

I don't need a meter to tell me when I am using appliances and to turn things off, I can't afford to waste energy.

I already read my own meter every month and submit the reading so my energy supplier gains nothing from my having a meter.

Re: Energy: SMART Meters

Same here Meg, only I do mine quarterly just before the bill is due so I know it is accurate.
I won't pay estimated bills.

Re: Energy: SMART Meters

I generate my own bills Mups I can put in a meter reading and generate one instantly so I am able to keep track of usage. I do it once a month.

Re: Energy: SMART Meters

What a good idea.
Are you with British Gas?
