they personally dont save you money . They give you a monitor that lets you see how much you are using which makes you conscious of how much you are using .and maybe wasting . They also send your meter readings to the provider so that all your bills are accurate and no estimates . means if you pay on a monthly direct debit the provider can give a more accurate monthly charge |

I have just read that there is a disadvantage in that, if you want to swap suppliers you have to have the existing meter taken out and a new one installed. Not sure how they arrange the transition. |

I had smart meters fitted over a year ago. The first thing... the fitter left a gas leak from the pipe from the meter, nearly blow the garage & house up, 36 hrs without hot water or heating. NOT HAPPY. Then six months later £250 ish. disapeared from my in-credit account, i phoned them (ovo) asking where has it gone to. For some reason they haven't been geting the gas reading, so again an engineer had to re-set the meter. Since then my payments have been "all over the place". I have told OVO to get it sorted or i will find another suppier. |
