Smart Meters for Gas / Electricity - Would you have one installed today?

Jason Wong
Just wondering what the state of smart meters are at the moment. Thinking of mainly the UK market in this regard. The utilities companies are offering to install these in to customer's homes. Would you have have one installed in your home?


Anybody got one installed? Good or bad experience with them?


The one advantage of them is that you don't need to let anybody in to your home to do meter readings (assuming your meters are currently inside the property).

    One big issue for me, which they say they will fix, is that the meters are not to a universal standard which means that if an energy supplier fits a smart meter at the present time, there is no guarantee that you will be able to switch energy supplier in the future. There is no guarantee of compatibility across the sector. This is disgraceful in an industry that claims that people should always look at switchig to keep their costs competitive. How did that happen?
