One might expect that to be the case, but I haven't yet seen a case. Before I 'swapped' last year I must have looked at literally hundreds of tariffs. The conditions of a good few said things like "you must have a smart meter", but I don't recall any supplier saying that "it didn't count" if you already had a 'smart' meter!
the instructions found to do that though might not relate exactly to what has been fitted.No need to 'gather - is IS government policy, and the reason the suppliers are putting so much pressure on customers is because they (the suppliers) get fined if they do not meet the government targets for fitting smart meters.
That is all nonsense. DNOs have absolutely nothing to do with meters or metering. That is the responsibility of the suppliers, and even they commonly contract their meter work to a third party.
) Super electricians as they can do all but not always 3 phase meters. Or at least it is around here. must be a mistake. So one smart was fitted. The person that did that wanted to loop the 2 cu's to the new smart meter. Phoned and told no even though they carry the stuff needed around with them. So I found an electrician who would link the CU's and he removed the house fuse himself so wanted me to forget who he was. The unused meter had to come off the board. So for several months I ignored requests to come and fit a smart meter replacement for it. They even phoned a couple of times but as we were having nuisance call problems ans phone was on 2 rings. One reason I didn't contact them immediately was knowing that it would take a long time to sort out - eventually spoke to the right person after 2hours plus on their chat line. Shorter than expected - you just couldn't imagine how long it took to get the correct address on the smart meter they did fit. I eventually got that sorted by using their complaints service and expected to have to do the same again.Nonsense. As I said, DNOs have nothing to do with metering or meters.
After all the comments ,and I thought it was safe to have them fitted, you go and say that
Why ... probably because some people are very worried about what may one day be done using smart meters. However, unless they are still 'wearing short trousers', I doubt that (m)any of them will still be around if/when their greatest fears become a reality!After all the comments ,and I thought it was safe to have them fitted, you go and say that
