New smart meter……huge shock.

If you already being careful in your power usage what good is a smart meter to you? I’ve no intention of having one ever also if you change suppliers they often aren’t compatible with another company.

£64689.0 in one night??? ? Clearly an error but nevertheless upsetting and now needs resolving. I've heard of so many problems with smart meters and have resolved to avoid having one installed for as long as possible.

I had a letter as well….i don’t think I’ll bother to have a Smart Meter. If the only advantage is knowing how much you’re using, I know that anyway because I read the meters regularly…

We finally got our own electrician in. He said that the Electricians posting forums were full of the problems with Smart Meter installations.
It never occurred to me that there'd be forums for Electricians but why not, we Grans have one!

What a shock! I had a letter from my new supplier yesterday urging me to have a smart meter fitted, but I can't decide whether to or not. It seems to me to be a help to know what we are using, but I've read of so many problems like those above that it is off-putting.
I will be interested to read what others on here think.

Our Smartmeter installation was a disaster. It uninstalled our central heating (In January!). We ended up after three different installation engineers with EDF removing it and reinstating our old meter plus giving us £80 for the upset.
Good luck!

Well good luck next winter then! I guess you need to contact them as it's obviously a fault.
