Just had (another) knock at my door from a guy trying to get me to change over to a smart meter.
He stated he was a representative from the government and council and that with a government scheme I could get a smart meter fitted and be given £200 a year along with reduced bills, whilst still being with my current supplier.
I asked for the name of this government scheme, which he couldn't give me, and again asked who he worked for. He showed me his lanyard very quickly, said he was a government representative and then showed me a logo on his coat briefly. I belive it was o-something energy. (really annoyed with myself that I can't remember it!)
I told him that he wasn't the first to come to my door with fantastic offers surrounding smart meter installation and that I'd rather search for this government scheme myself if it is available. Alas, it can only be done through him. So I said thanks but no thanks.
I've had a look online and can't find a government scheme or anything remotely similar to what he tried to sell me.
So anyone knows of this scheme please enlighten me! I really don't want a smart meter, but if you're going to pay me £200 quid a year to have one then I could be persuaded to change my mind.
