To remind you to read your meters today?

[TheClitterati]

And submit them.
New cap tomorrow = price hike.

That it.
That's the thread.

Reply when you are done to remind others to read their meters today.

Like @InCheesusWeTrust we get OUR energy provider nagging us to have a smart meter too. Been doing it for 3 or 4 years they have. Around once a month. Sometimes emails, and sometimes letters. Their most recent attempt was a letter with the heading... 'YOU ARE DUE YOUR SMART METER! BOOK YOUR APPOINTMENT NOW!' They worded it as if we had no choice and it was mandatory. Some people would think it WAS mandatory!

They can get tae fuck! No way are we having one.

@TheClitterati Also, thanks for the reminder. Did mine at 3 minutes past midnight. The sites were very quiet then, and I got the confirmation through that they got it! As has been said though, people have til 14th October to send it in. Last time they said they all have to be in on that one day, and all hell, broke loose!!! So this is better.

Not if they are dumb (not smart). You load them up at the cost per kwh when you loaded the key. They cannot remotely change prices. As I said earlier. I am still on March rates

"DON'T MISS OUT, BOOK APPOINTMENT TODAY".

I just want to email back to tell them to stop shouting at me😂.

Wouldn't hav ethat issue if they didn't lie about credit meters to me years ago😂

When you top up the price per kw is loaded into the key/card at the time of purchase. So as long as its paid for before the price increase tomorrow. It will still be at todays rate

Yep. YOU ARE DUE A SMART METER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WE ARE IN YOUR AREA NOW. BOOK NOW!!!!!!!

Your essential energy update BOOK NOW.

I agree with you, some wording is very much suggesting you must to do it

Ooh good call, I’ve just stripped the bed and was going to leave it until tomorrow to wash but now you mention it……every penny helps!!

My letters keep saying its certificate is out of date and could be inaccurate. Please call to arrange a smart meter. I dont think so * *

I was listening to something on the radio about this.
It doesn't have to be the exact day, and you can record the values now and submit in the next few days so their servers don't get overloaded and the phone lines are still free for vulnerable people reporting issues.

Oh bargain then. I wonder if that’s widely known?

Done! Thanks op

It should be after march. It was covered everywhere iirc

Thanks for the reminder

Good job everyone.

I have a smart meter but it doesn't work. My first winter in this house with the smart meter (my first) it was telling me extraordinary daily rates. So we basically froze. Then I figured out the meter figures were way off. It made me unnecessarily anxious & was wrong so I packed the screen away.

Bulb used to read remotely but British Gas don't. Just wacky estimates. So much data yet always do wrong.

I’ve read mine but haven’t been able to update all day, so I’ve gone back down to the spider city that is the cellar and taken photos for just in case.

My smart meter has been mostly offline in the 18 months I’ve had it, too. Does anybody have one that works properly? I’m starting to think they’re all complete crap.

I’ll do mine at midnight 😬

I had to do mine earlier as there be spiders

Done. Thank you for the reminder 🥶

Urgh I didn’t know this, it’s pitch black and pissing with rain and my meter box is outside under hedges (well done for that landlord…)
How much do I want to go out and do this

Im completely missing something, why do I need to submit a reading tomorrow?

Yes I have had similar to that. They hound me.

I did mine in the dark.last night.. saw a thread online assumed it was yesterday but at least it is done.

It's today, so you don't get charged the new higher rate for electricity that you used before the prices change again tomorrow
