Smart Meter Lies No 7 – How this money can’t help you?
Suppliers send out letters and texts to customers that fail to make it clear that smart meters are optional.
EDF Energy is texting customers: ‘We need to upgrade your meter to a smart meter’.
E.ON send out letters that state in bold, red type: ‘Reminder: your meter is being phased out’.
Scottish Power’s letters say ‘Action required’ next to a large, red exclamation mark.
Some E.ON customers have even been told they face losing their cheap deal if they refuse to have a new meter. In 2017, the supplier said it would replace its expensive standard tariffs with rolling deals that cost up to £262 a year less, but only if customers get a smart meter first.
These meters automatically send readings to your provider over a wireless connection. It means the end of estimated bills, and customers will be able to see more clearly how much energy they use, helping them to r, educe their costs. The UK Government ordered suppliers to offer optional smart meters to all households. As many as one in five UK households says they do not want one. Some are concerned about how their personal data will be used. Others don’t want the hassle of waiting in for an engineer to call. Many are reluctant, after learning, that most of the 7.36 million meters already installed will stop working if you switch to a different supplier.
Money Mail does understand that this problem will be fixed. Without an engineer needing to visit a software update will be possible. But no details have been confirmed so far. (1)
