Smart meters

I take it you don't want a smart meter then Ian

We often missed the meter reader on his rounds, they often came during the day and we were both out at work.  Now I don't have to worry.

Got  my   Load  Of  Guff,  on  Friday  so  now  I  have  to  phone  them  to  arrange  a  date  for  the  fitting  of  the  new  meter.  I  keep  a  reasonably  close  watch  on  the  readings,  costs  etc  anyway  so  it's  unlikely  to  change  that  very  much !

A lot of people have been cut off by the 'smart' meter makng a mistake.

Not so smart, then....

And yes, there are a lot of problems with them when changing suppliers. So that's progress then....

More a case of not needing one, H&T.

Why pay for something that does no more than what we get at present? Together with all the potential problems.

I accept that some people would benefit from being able to see that leaving lights on in unoccupied rooms is a waste......but I don't need a meter to tell me that.

The other reason could be that the old meters go backwards if you have solar panels on your roof (they do honest) on sunny days double whammy

Write your comments here...A bit like cuckoo clocks that forget it's night time?

There has been no extra cost to me , my standing charge and day and night kWh are the same as it was with the old metre , and in the last 6months my supplier has reduced my standing and kWh rate 

Well Ian the people that leave their lights on are bumping up your power costs by consuming more energy so anything that reminds consumers about power wastage might benefit all of us...?

The cost is built into all our bills, Huskie.

Perhaps your reduction wasn't as much as it could have been.

The meter didn't cost anything, and our bills have been reduced,  although some of the reduction could be down to youngest son leaving home!
