i have been constantly notified by our supplier that the electric meter has reached the end of its certified life, i played along with it as i knew exactly when it was fitted and kept the fittment card given to me at the time, finally today they have just agreed that its good until december 2031 so happy days for me today. i am not totally against having one just pissed off with the lies they were telling to try getting me to agree to have one fitted.
they can't force you to have a smart meter though - you can insist on a conventional meter to be fitted
I'll say it again...a smart meter can very quickly become non smart....they can't force you to have a smart meter though - you can insist on a conventional meter to be fitted
Id seriously not get to hung up about it. This sort of stuff is installed and maintained be numskulls... absolute doddle to make sure it never talks to "the cloud" the minute they leave ...
I just send 'em a reading on the 5th of the month ... job did - haven't had an estimated bill in a very long timeI'll say it again...a smart meter can very quickly become non smart....
I know of several locations that the smart meter "wont talk to the system so we still have to read it manually...oh that's odd what a shame"
Personally I've left ours smart as I'd rather pay for what we use than get screwed over all the time with estimates. Anything sinister ever did loom on the horizon ..our network would suddenly "deteriorate."..
Yepthey can't force you to have a smart meter though - you can insist on a conventional meter to be fitted
the latest is that they cant get traditional meters now only smart i was told that the only thing you could probably do is limit how much it can sendand the least is reading once a month. i have very little interest in having one at all and should now be able to fend them off untill 2031 hopefully.they can't force you to have a smart meter though - you can insist on a conventional meter to be fitted
Did you know some meter cupboards have a lead lining in
weigh it in quick not sure what their next move will be they just seem to hope most will accept the fairy tales they try to pass as truth the big push i think is for time of use billing for when the grid is busy a premium will be charged for certain periods?.Did you know some meter cupboards have a lead lining in
I sense mild levels of disapproval with the current governmentLeigh owns the hydraulics place in Raglan that I use .... think he's pissed off
yes I think leccy sleds should pay to use the roads, being heavier than other similar vehicles they more than contribute to the dire state of the roads in general
their savings are supposed to come in their lack of fuel duties, etc., supposedly .. aren't they??
or are they not as 'efficient' as we're all BS-d on to believe ???

Blimey he's really pissed off and good reason too. That's much more than I pay for my old (soon to be classic) Ford Mondeo DIESEL project carLeigh owns the hydraulics place in Raglan that I use .... think he's pissed off

The depreciation is mental on evs, we bought ours used and since we bought it the advertised prices are near enough the same. Think the taycans are one of the worst for depreciation. Biggest problem with all the EVs is the unknown longevity of them, once they get past the battery and motor warranties they essentially become throw away objects as replacement batteries and motor are uneconomical, not really an answer to going green when they will never last like an ice vehicleCousin was just saying he's just had an offer on one of their fleet audis. Electric job. Less than 3 years old. 80k new . 25k now .
