edf smart meters, anyone got one ?

[soundwave]

because they are bombarding us with we need to install one now ect ect as my clock work meter is past it.

the date on my meter is 1985 which i take was the date it was made or installed and from what i can find has a service life of 40 years.

now is the wifi on these things in the meter and take it they use wireless data for coms as not using my fkn wifi.

now as this thing will be recording my usage every 30 mins under the gdpr can i refuse and still send them meter readings cos there taking the pi$$ as we have signed nothing!!!

I'm with Ebico, AFAIK smart meters are opt-in only. I'll never opt in.


"You don’t have to accept a smart meter if you don’t want one. If your supplier tells you that you must have one installed, contact the Citizens Advice consumer helpline. "

i live in a council house and 1 of the last ppl down our road with a old meter so 2025 is when it will be replaced imo.

I'm pretty certain you can't be forced to have it replaced with a "Smart" meter, Council house or private. Give CAB a call.

Good God! Is Britain really going to jail people who disagree with net zero?

A piece of legislation snuck quietly through Parliament yesterday. If we don't fight it you might very well face jail time for non-compliance with new zero diktats on your home, writes Lois Perry.

that will mean forced entry to fit one in every house as u wont have a choice then but you get free electric in prison tho

That article doesn't say anything about "Smart" meters, and they haven't and don't save households much anyway.

They don't use WiFi, our UK smart meter system uses the mobile phone network. I have an EDF smart meter but it's never worked as a smart meter simply because there's no mobile phone signal here. Anyway, left EDF very long ago.

No problem, where it's already in use such as Denmark it's popular since it reduces the household electricity bills.
