Energy Meter Reading Day Today

[life on mars]

Don't let them estimate it which they will if you dont send reading .

Some folk are cancelling DD and paying by reads per month

Refrain from smart meters , sign up to the power companies app or web page , send monthly meters reading s , monitor the bills ,be warm ..

My electric is at £112 DD a month with £66 government support per month,
.
Gas via a meter slot card is £60 a month .

So £106 a month ............

STAY WARM BUY THERMALS

That's a fraction of it. Most of it is currency borrowed from hot air.

The push for 'smart' meter's is so they can turn your energy off with a push of a button now! that's all they were put in for! refuse!

Whether they will be able to turn you off at a press of a button I doubt, but smart meters far more trouble than they are worth. Avoid at all costs.

Why, they just report what you've used so it's not guess work?

The only disadvantage I can see, is you could have put in a much higher reading now, paying a lower price on the gas will be using in the future until it corrects?

I'm on a fixed low rate till March 2022, so I got the smart meter, I quite like it and am using much less, even though I'm not paying much I like seeing it show usage is under budget every day.

I rang OVO up and asked if they were 100% accurate and not likely to result in some huge unexpected bill after insulation which has been reported .

When I challenged OVO on the matter that smart meters can go wrong , the reply was "the new generation are better" so nope not convinced , no fall back position , no guarantee to help or revert the costs.

I know of one lady who had a 4k bill she lives alone the resulting in dreadful stress in trying to reverse this demand with the company she fell into the trap of doing it now as bills were rising then the awful world of call centre waiting times , web chat lines etc etc something an older people could do without .

My humble view is too hold off manage it month on month with reading
