I was thinking of getting a smart meter. When I phoned my energy company which is E.O.N they said ok. My current meter is on the side of the property (I live in a flat in a converted house). My neighbour said she wanted a smart meter and was told she could not have one fitted where the currrent meters were located and that they would need to be moved round to the front of the house.. I presume because where they are you could not get a signal. My neighbour said no because she would have to pay
A friend of mine said she has never heard of anyone having to pay to have a meter moved. I phoned up E.O.N and queried and they said yes you do have to pay and probably £150. They now say they do not know how much I will have to pay because they do not know how far they will have to move the meter. They said if you have to have the meter moved more than onen meter from the current location then they tell the customer to pay a fee for them to move the meter. My friend has said several of her friends had the meter moved with no cost. The other thing is if I decide to pay and have a smart meter and the smart meter does not work properly then I will have wated my money asking to have the meter moved when at the end of the day the smart meter does not work
Anyone else heard of this
