Smart Meter

Hi Guys,

Quick question that hopefully some will be able to answer.

Has anyone had a smart meter installed by their electric company?

I have had a letter from first utility saying I need to get it installed as it will be the law. I like send my own readings at the moment as they are all dodgy so I like to keep note.

I was wondering if they increase costs of the your power as they will try to make the money up from us for the meter.

I'm holding off having it fitted till they call me but was just looking to see if people had experience with them.

Yeah that is what I was thinking it's just that it is free at the moment I can only imagine that they will charge you when you have now choice.

Hopefully someone with one will shed some light on the pros and cons of them.

Fair enough that will be the same situation as me then. I will question them about a tariff change that they are trying to push with the fitting of the new meter.
