As long as there's a signal in your area and you dont already have working smart meters then yes. What you posted before suggests you have some issues with your IHD and you have smart meters already?are eon fitting meters yet?

No, the actual smart meter on the gas and electric supply. It lllks like this, and they say it won’t work with their IHD and they can’t change the meter on the supply.Do you mean a new IHD?
Because they get fined if they take out smart meters. The IHD working is irrelevant to them. You should be able see your usage online.No, the actual smart meter on the gas and electric supply.

Is there a solution for me then?Because they get fined if they take it out.
Not really, you have to wait until the infrastructure is cross compatible. The smets1 meters (which is the first generation that you have) don't play nicely with other suppliers.Is there a solution for me then?

You could try complaining enough to a point where the solution is to do an exchange to a smets2. Or find a supplier who will do it anyway (you may have luck with octopus)
I've had loads of complaints about smets1 not working. Most get deadlocked eventually. It's improving ofc but still loads that don't work. From what I've been told if they rip out a perfectly good smart meter (IHD is not relevant) they get fined hmmmTonnes of Smets1's have been onboarded with the DCC and work just fine and suppliers dont get fined for ripping out smart meters per say they get fined for not hitting installation targets.
Hmm dunno our figures but i work quite closely with our Smart back office teams and from the figures i've seen we dont tend to get many which are SMETS1 meters and arent commissioned with the DCC. Most of the issues with the SMETS1 is that somethings fallen over between the supplier and the DCC and its usually fixable remotely.I've had loads of complaints about smets1 not working.

Well I'm just one of the grunts on the front line getting told different things every week and getting different answers every time I ask a question hahaHmm dunno our figures but i work quite closely with our Smart back office teams and from the figures i've seen we dont tend to get many which are SMETS1 meters and arent commissioned with the DCC.

Sounds about rightWell I'm just one of the grunts on the front line getting told different things every week haha
Our place makes to very difficult to get in touch with the people who can fix smart issues. We have to fill in a form and you are lucky if it gets even looked at in a week or two. You are even luckier if they bother to reply at all making it so you have a massive list you have to keep checking to see if anything has been done.Sounds about rightI hear stories of our guys telling customers its broke and needs replacing when its 10 mins of work in the background by the relevant people to fix

Agree. Poor form from puzzled.Can you not post conspiracy nonsense about smart meters. Someone actually died and 20 homes were destroyed.
Might be needing to change the name of the thread soon to "This is getting ridiculous (mortgage prices)".
My girlfriends remortgage is due and the best she can get is 3.2% (previously 2% five years ago). She's on an LTV of under 40%, yet that is the best she can get. It will add £50 to her monthly unless she extends the term.
Gonna be a world of pain for many people. If rates are 6% in five years time, I'd need to find an extra £350 ish on the mortgage I just took out. If rates were 10%, nearly an additional £1k. That would probably be house repossession territory.
