My power company is Bulb, and they've asked me twice to have a smart
meter. I went through the application online and the last questions is
Some outdoor gas meters are stored in boxes with sloped lids, instead
of upright doors. These boxes are usually brown. It's really important
you tell us if you have a meter like this so the engineer can bring
the right equipment to replace it. And I clicked Yes, my gas meter is
in a box with a sloped lid.
The response then was We can't install a smart meter just yet
We'll update you when we can replace your meter
Our engineers can't replace your type of meter at the moment. We'll
send you an update when this changes. Sorry to keep you waiting.
Now they get the estimates wrong every time, keep suggesting I'd use
2000k 's worth of gas in a year! In an 11 year old terraced house with
double glazing. And we cook with electricity mostly. I complain a
lot and send lots of customer readings so we get sensible bills. I had
to email and complain to reduce the monthly DD as we are usually
around 150 or more in credit. Is that why no smart meter? They hope to
have my money in their a/c? Earning interest.
Has anyone else been refused the smart meter? I was not sure I wanted
one but in an attempt to change the algorithm we were sending readings
every other day for the last 2 months. We thought we'd go for the
smart meter.
