No thanks. Smarter NOT to have a smart meter.
I agree Haven't got one don't want one
Agree with you
I got one just because i am on like 600 quid a month to just monitor what i am using.
Plus i am half crippled so it is easier for me, but am thinking of some ecoflow tech for investment as a backup system incase.😂
The fears about them are groundless really.
@@MrsZambezi they said that about the COVID jabs didn`t they ? and asbestos , and smoking etc. What ever happened to "freedom of choice" ?
Another scam.
How long before they start forced entry, Again.
Yup, they have them here in BC Canada, they don't work worth a wank as the melts still come round and read the meter.......FFS
How?
No, all about control.
@@kickedwhendown247 Again?
Shove your smart meter up your gas pipe.
😂
I'll use autogas lpg from the local shell and a diesel generator with a battery bank before i get dictated too by a company I PAY for a SERVICE, and certainly not for advice or dictations either! What has happened to the world? Customer always used to be right. These days they create a product nobody wants then try to force you to buy it.. HOW?
😂
@@MDM1992 A perfect comment. When did they become the master?
😂😂
Why don’t they bloody government leave us the F alone and sort out the migrant mess, the potholes, the UK homeless etc
Yes, and while they are at it they could stop spraying the skies every day and blocking out the sun, manipulating the weather.
Because they want to use ai to index and control all resources on earth including you and me
Nothing to sort out....they are allowed in by the u.n.....our gov have to pretend to do something to satisfy the public
Because that costs money....this makes money!!
Because they are NOT on our side, simple as that. As soon as you realise that, then everything they do makes sense.
Smart meters : Your very own digital spy living inside your house.
I'm living in a caravan. I've never felt so lucky. X
Say No. X
Go off grid as much as you are able. Grow some veg. Pay as little to the man as you can. Vote anyone, but them. . . Really try to piss them off. We'll get them out.
They literally will turn off your supply, Germany already doing it.
We’ve refused a smart meter for so long now. We don’t see any benefit to us.
I'm smart for not having one .
💯🇬🇧🇯🇲👍
There's nothing wrong with having one. It's great to not have to do meter readings.
@@MrsZambezibut its not great on your health just like jabs wasnt 🎉
@@Clarebadger Smart meters don't affect health.
@@MrsZambezi ok so people who have cancer are not advised to have,why not if it dont effect your health 🙄
But I am mad as hell at the millions of people who did get them! Why can’t we all stick together?! No smart meters, no clot shot, no dumb electric car.
Exactly!
Because generally, as I'm sure you have now concluded, the great unwashed are pretty bloody thick!
This is why we elect useless mp's, spend more money than we earn, and blindly follow the "leader".
To name but 3. 😡😡
Like the vax, the sheeples can't wait to be led and obey without thought.
Lemmings, worse thing is though they drag the rest of us over the cliff edge with them.
Because a large portion of people are Hylics, as described by the gnostics
Smart meters, a bit like smart motorways... Not very smart.
Totally right.
Smart meters are fine but smart motorways are dangerous and not smart at all.
@@MrsZambezismart meters are not fine they are a health risk as well as a monitoring device
Smart motorways work if drivers have passed a test, don't have poor uncorrected sight and don't just drive in to people or hit parked vehicles because they can't see them.
Not even the same thing, although you're just about able to work out one word is the same. I would guess you were around school age.
People using smart motorways are dangerous if they can't see vehicles in front of them and choose to crash in to them.
The smart meter is for charging you premium prices at premium time. Simple as that
So much for being "smart."
Really, might want to do some research on that one lol
Monitoring when someone is in the house and also for taxing you with environmental taxes.
Alongside being able to cut you off whenever they feel like it if the needs in one area is needed above another area because of extreme cold in that area and the other area is warm enough and are not using it as much.
@@RichardKinghorn Hence why i am thinking of picking up an ecoflow system for back up at some point soon.😂
Plus tbh it is easy enough to build windwalls and small turbines.
Plus the heat pumps bleh, bad enough when they brought out the grants Labour wanted to criminalise people refusing or couldn't afford to get one installe
Not getting a heat pump. Don't want a ev either.

If there is one thing we’ve learnt over the last four years if the government mandates something, don’t bloody have it!
No chance revolt I refused, everybody needs to say no !!!
They can SMART OFF.
😂😂
I will say it for you. They can fuck right off. There ya go.
Anything named SMART isn't in your favour, Who favour is it in ,there's only.
I have been saying this for years, anything 'smart' is not for your benefit
Smart for them not for you.
Systemic Abuse
Surveillance, monitoring and reconnaissance technology
That is what smart means
I bet you’re all commenting on your “smart” phones though aren’t you 😂
There is nothing written in Law that says' you have to have a smart meter no matter what these energy companies want.
Yet !!
Your meter has to be changed by law after a fixed number of years, good luck fighting this cause.
It's a proposal only from British Gas.
The government fines energy companies for not meeting smart meter targets. It's a government initiative not energy companies, they have been fined nearly 11 million to date.
You don't have to own a smartphone or use apps either....
Stand up and fight the greedy corporations.
God, I wish we would.
No one will stick together, they're too greedy or afraid.
Not for me ta . More control nonsense.
I had to phone up Eon last year & tell them if they sent me 1 more text or email about smart meters I’d change supplier. It worked
I had the same thing,I phoned the utility Warehouse and told them to stop pestering me ,two days later they phoned me to say the meter installers were in my area and would be coming to install my meter,I closed my account and changed supplier.
@@GRAMDAVNO1 This is fast becoming a dictatorship
Same. I threatened legal action from the constant calls and texts for installation. They stopped.
No thanks.. control is not happening in my house
Nor mine. X
Correct. Our bodies , our homes. They can get to France 👍
I'm not getting a smart meter simply because I won't have anyone in control of when I can or can't have energy.
They can turn the powers off whenever they want regardless of your type of meter.
@@ItsAllJustBollox yes they can but they would also have to turn the whole town off, with smart meters they can turn off who they want and for whatever reason.
@@user-ok4ke8tp8b tin foil sales must be doing well😂
They can shut elect and gas off to any residence at any time. Long before smart meters. Simple as shutting the mains. Now, can it be done remotely with the click of a button without a SM? I sont believe so. Has to be manual at the source.
If "smart" stuff was so good, like EV vehicles are pushed as, you would not need to have Government and other nutters bullying you into having them.
I will not have a smart meter.. i read my meter every month.. i do not want to pay for electric to use it..
Correct 👍
Smart meters don't cost anything to run except for the tiny consumption of the display unit, and you can leave that off if you prefer.
@BV-co7hy To confuse us (deliberately), the Gov't has given TWO different things the label 'Smart Meter'.
1. One is the little free-standing device that you can have in your home showing how much 'energy' you are using. It can be unplugged.
2. The other is the Smart UTILITY Meter - that's the large SUPPLY meter that the Utility company uses to measure usage and charge you for the supply. This CANNOT be unplugged.
It's the second one - the SMART UTILITY METER that's the risk to you - your power can be remotely switched off, either by the supplier or a hacker. Plus, because there is no encryption or security, a hacker can access your usage to see if you are home by monitoring power usage.
@@MrsZambezi my meter don't use even a tiny amount.....all those tiny amounts add up to wasted energy.
More bs...you must have shares in smart meters.
@@fb-qs9fo If you are fretting about the cost of the display you can simply unplug it.
no smart meter here for my gas or electric.
long live my old style meters
They jack up the standing charges easily with smart meters. Standing charges are the biggest scandal of our generation. Its almost £15 per month for standing charge, thats £180 per year which could have been used for food instead of being profit for utility corporations. And they are chasing people who are struggling who end up being in debt for not topping up the minimum standing charge - this is for people who have top up smart meters. They are forcing debt onto people who otherwise would not be in debt if there was no standing charge.
After covid
@@r.h.8754 Mate, i am old enough to know there never was a standing charge ever before - for years, so who was paying for all the convenience back then ?
Standing charges are a disgrace that penalises low usage. For years I was able to escape the gas standing charge when Ebico was my provider, my bills went from around £5 a quarter around 17 years ago up to around £13 a quarter a few years back. Then suddenly Ebico stopped providing their service and pushed me onto BG who honoured the no standing charge for one year only. Now my bills have shot up to £60 a quarter, my gas usage (a couple of hot water taps) hasn't changed.
If I was forced to have one, I will tell them to switch me off and live off grid....
@@thisissparta3965 you sound like you were trying to copy someone that quoted "force"
And they'll do everything they can to stop people living off grid
@@mybackup8696They are already !
@@thisissparta3965 I presume nothing.....I have lived off grid all over the world...Doing it here would be a walk in the park....
@@Inmyroom-1204 no presumptions were made at you. Reread my replies and you will notice they were in reply to @billybob1705. Actually I admire your ability to live self sufficient off the land without having to answer to presumed authorities.
It's more smart people that's required, people that are smart enough to tell them to stick their smart meters and battery-powered cars where the sun doesn't shine!
I've had letters from my supplier stating that my old meter has gone 'end of life' and it needs to be replaced by a smart meter. They never provide proof of this and have been happily accepting my readings for a number of years with no warnings to say my meter may be failing in any way. In addition, if I choose to change the payment plan I am on I have to have a smart meter to qualify for any new, better cost plan, whether with my existing supplier or a new one. How legal is this? This is tantamount to black mail! I won't change! I know exactly what devices are high energy users and always seek to lower my usage. I don't need a remote switch to tell me that.
I've been having similar issues where I tried to change provider only to be told I must accept a smart meter, which I won't. Just recently my current provider for electricity has changed my billing from quarterly to monthly, meaning I now face threats of late payment 'fines' 12 times a year instead of 4. On top of this they've stopped issuing me with a paper bill so I'm forced to pay online, I can't even take an old bill to a paypoint as they've changed my account number. When I phoned them and complained about this unnecessary inconvenience and tried explaining I can't always get to the communal part where all the meters are housed all she could say was 'smart meter, you need to get a smart meter', it was like talking to a pre-programmed dalek. It's disgusting the way they're being allowed to mistreat their 'valued' customers.
@@mickymouze1224🤣🤣🤣👍
Same with me! LOWER TARIF IF I ACCEPT SMART METER. BLACKMAIL!
They will have to smash my door down to fit one in my house.....and get past the dog and my wife....good luck with that.
They might give cheaper rates to smart meter owners, but they won't be breaking into houses to fit one.
They can stick them, where the sun does not shine.
They already do cause of all the chemtrails 😂
Not for me ,all the evidence shows it to be a scam.
A gimmick.Theres nothing smart about a 'smart ' meter
its all an inversion nothng smart about anything smart
I’ve been saying for years that smart meters can be switched off remotely and it had nothing to do with saving money .
That's what I thought too, my street will be coming round to mine lol
All you have to do is if they force it on you aske them to put it in dumb mode which then doesn't transmit, the other thing to do is possibley install signal jamming equipment next to it all perfectly legal as long as you don't physically tamper with the meter.
Just like the post office
I don't want a smart meter because anyone can then see when my home is unoccupied. Imposition is facistic overreach.
That happened in NZ, and that's exactly what they use it for. Just today they admitted they will turn off the water cylinders because we had our first cold snap. And we had heat pumps rammed down our throats and they only work properly in the North as the South gets too cold and they're absolutely crap for heating a house, you need about three of them in the house to make it work. Resist UK...resist.
"how dare you"..get stuffed!
I suddenly got bombarded…emails, phone calls, text messages, voicemails. I did my research and when I finally spoke to someone, I told them it’s not mandatory and I don’t want one, SO STOP HARASSING ME. Tbf, the chap on the phone was understanding and I get the impression he’d had quite a few similar conversations. He did agree to get all the harassment stopped and tbf to him, it did stop. But the harassment is so threatening, that no wonder vulnerable people are caving in 😞
How about this bloke share some of his 8 million with the people who can't afford to heat their houses🤷♂️🤗
Can't. He shovels the notes into his boiler furnace.
Why
Why when the Prime Minister has the sort of money he has, and then there's our pointless King.
Any recent thing or device with the word "smart" in the name are not designed with the wellbeing of the user in mind.
I told shell energy if they contact me one more time to have a smart meter I will prosecute them for harassment! THEY STOPPED
I did the exact same with So energy , constant calls and emails
I was with shell until Octopus took over. Shell were constantly bombarding me with phone calls and text messages about getting a smart meter.
There are all of us saying NO against a tiny amount of them

what’s wrong with heat pumps?
In Queensland Australia energy company's are telling customers that their meters are faulty and must be replaced ... they lie and the media stay silent
That's been happening over here for a long time
Happening in the UK, my gas and electric supplier are saying my meters are old and need replacing WITH A SMART METER, well they can get stuffed.
But what you failed to tell us is that most energy companies that offer cheaper deals have in their terms and conditions that you agree to have one installed , this practice should BE STOPPED
Agree that particular practice is scandalous I have told my energy company that they are not treating customers fairly
You can have a smart meter removed if you have a cancer or compromised immune system because of the dangers of pulsed emf. What does that tell you about their safety?
Shove the meter up your back passage.
.....and without lubricant too.....

Smart meters - Turn off your energy supply from a remote office.
Online banking - freeze your assets from a remote office.
Electric car - stop you travelling from a remote office.
See where this is going, if you have a discrepancy with your gas bill, pay up or we’re going to turn off your heating mid January………………..

The irony of fitting a meter that consumes energy to work over one that doesnt appears lost to most.
And the elephant in room is most people that have them say they still check them manually as most dont work properly.

Heat pumps are the electric car of the heating industry
Expensive to buy , expensive to run , expensive to repair ( if you can find anyone willing / able to work on it )
Steer well clear of heat pumps and stick with gas, oil, solid fuel etc
Heat pumps cost £10,000 per year more than gas boilers and that's according to BBC, the government is now fining companies for not selling enough of them.
And dealerships get fines for not selling EVs. So what they do is let you order a petrol car, then at the last minute, tell you its not available. " but you can have this EV for the same price!". They are all at it.
I will stick with my wood burning stove that costs me nothing to run.
A heat pump cost you 12k a year?
Are you sure?

The company forced a smart meter in my newly built house, but without a strong phone signal the meter didn't work, they found out they could not interrogate it, and now I have an "old fashioned" meter, with five digits.
Happy days.
No chance
I had one installed several years ago. They can't get it to communicate and they don't send anyone round to resd it either. They had to reimburse me thousands for overcharging.
Over my dead body!!
There is absolutely no saving from a smart meter , the only benefit is to the energy supplier !
Told eon next they can stuff their Smart meter. Contacted my House insurance and was told that if the smart meter causes a fire they wont pay you out, would have to get Eon next to pay out if not then i would have to take to court. So its a NO from me.
I had them installed because i was going away for some time and was told that i wouldn't have to pay the standing charge and sure enough i was charged while i was away
I don't want a smart meterbecause of the high levels of radiation they emit. I don't even have a microwave. I also don't need a machine to tell me what I can or cannot use and when
They emit less radiation than whatever you wrote this comment on.
No.they don't.
Rubbish..no worse than a mobile phone.
@@chkldstgee2433 If you don't know, then say you don't know. There are multiple documentaries out there showing that they indeed emit dangerous levels of EMF's, very much like EV's and smartphones.
Do you avoid daylight also!?
I am hassled every month to get a smart meter and I will never have one. There should be consumer choice with EVERYTHING and when the government start mandating we are on a slippery slope to a dictatorship and not a free democracy.
The savings to be made are by the supply companies not the public. Knowing how fast the bill is going up is of no use to someone without the funds to implement savings measures like LED bulbs, low power appliances and so on. Digitisation is fundamentally about data collection and once it is collected you can be "managed" with it. Social credit based on your electricity consumption anyone?
They keep sending emails and letters, but we’re not having one. They can’t get anywhere near our door. They have to get past the 12ft barbed wire fence and 8ft electric gates with spiked along the top.
I DID STAND MY GROUND & I GOT BOTH SMART METERS REMOVED! THE ELECTRIC ONE I DID PRIVATELY BY A PROFESSIONAL TO ALL STANDARDS REQUIRED & THE GAS WAS DONE BY THE NATIONAL GRID. IT TOOK ME MONTHS OF ARGUING THOUGH & IN THE END I HAD TO GO TO THE OMBUDSMAN. THEY MADE THE ENERGY COMPANY PAY ME 100 QUID FOR TRYING TO TELL ME IT WAS A LEGAL REQUIREMENT & FOR THE INCONVENIENCE CAUSED.
Every time I get a pressure call to have a Smart Meter installed I inform the salesperson tha they are reciting from an illegal script and guilty of an act of misrepentation on a vulnerable customer. Call ends immediately.
Did they replace them with analogue meter
Never mind about that, why this bloke on 60k a month for doing nothing except talk ?
The comments have restored some of my faith in humanity
I had a phone call with a bloke telling me when he’s coming to fit my smart meter! I told him I hadn’t asked for one, he said everyone is getting one, I said, well, “thank you but I don’t want one” he said again, “everyone is getting one” so I asked “is it compulsory to have one? Is it the law?” He went quiet then said “well…no, but everyone wants one” I signally replied “I don’t, so stop bothering me” and put the phone down.
Currently over 4 million smart meters installed that are faulty and giving the wrong readings meaning 4 million+ customers having thousands taken out of their accounts wrongly
I told them no a couple of times a few years ago. They don't bother any longer. Every couple of months they send an email asking for readings which I do. Our bills are way under "average." We often put on fleeces in the winter, instead of putting on the heating.
No intention of getting a heat pump. Sums simply don't make economic sense.
Smart meters will actually cost you more. Just having it plugged in will cost £20 to £30 a year.
4,000,000 smart meters currently installed either don’t work or don’t work properly.
You can shove them where the sun don’t shine along with heat pumps and EV’s.
Why would you need a smart meter to save money? If you want to save money just switch your appliances off. Smart or dumb won’t make any difference.
As for net zero tell that to people who have private planes and yachts
You need to be smart to realise that.
This country loses £590 million Per year! yes per year as the electricity network and transmission grid cannot utilise or harness the energy produced from wind turbines, they can overload the network therefore we the taxpayer have to pay through our bills to have windmills supply turned off and made redundant often temporarily, yet the government won't tell you this, it's bad for business
Sounds like bad forward planning to me.
I live in Lincolnshire where we are having a battle with National Greed who want to run new cables on pylons overground from Grimsby to Walpole in Norfolk to import power from Scottish Wind Turbine fields to the London area. Also they want to build switching and converter stations at various points along the route plus allowing literally dozens of new wind and solar farms to connect to the grid to feed the south-east. The cables should be on the sea-bed and infrastructure should be either where the cables make landfall or in areas of no population. Solar farms should not be allowed on prime agricultural land needed for food production and free-stream tidal turbines should be the means of generating all the energy we need and more.
I must admit I've noticed some local wind turbines here in south Lincolnshire have been stationary recently despite the winds blowing. I know sometimes they "Feather" them to prevent damage or overspeed when the wind is too strong, but there seems to have been quite a few off-line lately.
When we all have batteries and solar in the house, presumably we don't need the energy companies anymore?
It will never stop getting worse until you stand up and hold these people accountable.
Wait until people realise that the government have quietly put legislation in place to indeed control each of your major electrical appliances to enable ‘ Load Control’ to be done remotely by the authorities. Energy Act 2023 - Chapter 10
To confuse us (deliberately), the Gov't has given two different things the label 'Smart Meter'.
1. One is the little free-standing device that you can have in your home showing how much 'energy' you are using.
2. The other is the Smart UTILITY Meter - that's the large SUPPLY meter that the Utility company uses to measure usage and charge you for the supply.

Big mistake allowing a smart meter into your house...
When anyone can prove a smart meter will save money without manipulating tariffs i will have one.
Smart meters are not smart. All that happens is the digital display shows that you are using electricity when you switch on the electric kettle. From this you are supposed to deuce that electric kettles use electricity and if you stop drinking tea, coffee, Bovril, Ovaltine or any hot drink you will save electric energy. Then you switch to using a kettle on the gas and the meter says the same thing, from which you are supposed to deduce once again that drinking hot drinks in the winter uses "ENERGY". Stop it now all old freezing people in the winter no more hot drinks, often results in death. Even I'm dumb enough to figure that one out.
The government failed twice in court to push net zero the clowns 🤡.
Everything Enforced by so called elected representatives?
Time for change
They really keep hammering away at the smart meter thing - they are so persistent it has hardened my resolve NOT to have one . !
This will change eventually. They will sneak it into the Energy Act 2023, around the 'section 238' area. Already written into it that appliance manufacturers can install the 'smart chips' that allow the remote communication ('load control') in order to 'switch you off' if required.
Hold off as long as you can.
There’s only one reason they want you to have a smart meter so they can rip you off and turn it off if you do t pay .
I will never get a smart meter on any type of energy or water if they put it in I would remove it and smash it
General Ludd gains another disciple.
💯🇬🇧🇯🇲👍
I reduced my direct debit now to £45 per month, summer is coming.
Would a smart meter save me money? How? Isn't £45 low enough? I read my meters and know how much gas and electricity I have used and what it will cost. I don't need a smart meter to tell me.
I'm using this computer, it uses electricity. I won't switch it off because of a smart meter. I'll turn it off when I'm finished.
Would I sit in the cold in winter because my smart meter says I'm using too much gas? No I wouldn't.
It's all nonsense.
Smart meters - guaranteed higher prices. GUARANTEED!
Not if you fiddle it
I keep getting told the signal i currently use is coming to an end, therefore i must get a smart meter. They'll be bribing us next like they did with the clot shot.
Are these the same smart meters that take your money even when everything in the house is completely switched off .
I worked at some years ago that having a smart meter prob meant that they could remotely control peoples usage?
I've stuck to that idea....
Apparently once your old style meters are past their life you have to have a smart meter fitted.
I’ve had to organise the change but my supplier is so busy I’m on a waiting list, but still get all the calls etc. to get a smart meter.
Unbelievable. They will do nothing towards Net Zero.
I can’t fit a heat pump, no room for all the kit.
Smart meter plus appliances connected to Internet of things = control grid. Was in cybersecurty for 25 years. That's what they want. That's the endgame.
Ther have been links to cancer attached to smart meters In the home
Heat pumps in Australia are ridiculously expensive. I was getting ideas for replacing my gas storage 2 years ago. The cost for the pump would have been over $4000. I'm an aged pensioner, so that option was dismissed immediately. Cheers Rosemary Western Australia 73yrs
Firstly, you cant be forced to have on installed. Even though the energy companies are economical with the truth ref installation. Secondly, it is in THEIR interest for you to have a "smart" meter installed and not yours. one example they can just switch off you electricity remotely at the flick of a switch WITHOU entering your home. Believe you me, smart meters aint for the benefit of the consumer. Lastly, this why energy companies are pushing it so hard is, there is a penalty charge against them if they [energy companies] dont meet certain installation/customers with smart meter targets.
As soon as I get the text from British Gas it gets deleted.
The wonderful thing about NOT having a smart meter is that your power can't be remotely cut off at the touch of a button. Whenever I'm offered one I follow the same advice given in regard to drug dealers: "just say no".
We have someone coming out next week to replace our faulty gas meter. I have told our supplier I will not accept a smart meter and their engineer will be refused access onto my property if he brings one and he will be reported for trespass. There is nothing in law that states you have to have a smart meter.
I have also informed them he has to have proper identification, which I will check with his head office, be wearing full PPE for the task, all his test equipment must be calibrated and in date, he must have proof of his qualifications, a full risk assessment and a method statement otherwise he will not be allowed access.
I’ve also informed them that I worked in the trade for many years and will observe everything he does like a hawk and require a full gas safety certificate upon completion. Let’s see how that goes😁
If you were in the trade you wouldn't take it out on the people that do the work by being so awkward. When they get you your door, ask if it's a standard meter as requested then give them a cup of tea and have a nice chat and let them get on with it.
They wouldn't be at your door if they are not qualified to replace the meter and aren't interested in screwing you over like the heads of these companies that are trying to force smart meters. They just want a pay check at the end of the month and you should applaud them for having a job and not being a scrounging benefits scum.
