John52 Posted October 1, 2022 Share Posted October 1, 2022 I've had 3 smart meters They were OK until I switched suppliers, then the new supplier couldn't read them You might have thought the Government would have specified a meter they could all read Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So much easier now I dont have the faff of reading a meter and sending in the readings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulletguy Posted October 1, 2022 Share Posted October 1, 2022 I switched energy suppliers to Scottish Power some time ago as the deal they offered was damn good. Though I already had a smart meter they fitted a new one but I remember at the time the electrician had a heck of a job getting it to "read" the electricity signal. He had no problem with the gas but it took him well over an hour and many frustrated phone calls getting the electric to "read". I don't know if I could get a better deal elsewhere....lets face it, nobody will get a "good" deal with energy suppliers now. The only reason i've stayed with them is anytime you need customer support you get straight through to someone without having to go through a silly menu of pre-recorded commands only to end up sitting in a queue listening to some dross jingle on a loop.

thebishbus Posted October 1, 2022 Share Posted October 1, 2022 I was with Scottish Power, then changed to Avro, (cheaper) Then Octopus, ( cheaper). Despite my monthly payment now more than double what is was I have stayed with Octopus as apparently they only add 5 % to their buying costs. Can't see anyone else adding less than that. Brian B.
