Free Energy Nationwide, (offering smart meter removals)?

Tomgunn

Hi, I've been in an online discussion, about having a smart meter removed. I keep saying that only the DNO can do this but... some of them, online, insist that this company will do it for you and not go through the local DNO! 

The company suggested is "Free Energy Nationwide." The online people keep saying it is legal. for an electrician, to remove the smart meters... I say that you cannot as it has to go via the DNO!

I did a quick search, on them, to find they dissolved in 2013 and, in the link provided, was a poor email address.

Any info on this, please?

Thanks... Tom

    Western Power Distribution (WPD) has been taken over by National Grid (NGED), they will only move dumb meters, not smart meters, so I’m not quite sure why anyone else can think they can.

    Will you also move the meter?

    We may move your meter from the existing to the new location in some instances. Where we are unable to move your meter, you will need to make arrangements with your supplier to move the equipment to your new meter location on the same day as we move your supply. Some suppliers may charge for this service.

    Please note: NGED are unable to move smart meters. Where you have a smart meter installed, you will need to make arrangements with your supplier.

    Hi, thanks for the reply!

    I had a bit of a run in, no... I wasn't rude to anyone, but I got a lot of stick when I challenged them, about moving meters'! 

    The email, for this 'company', was a very poor one... meaning it didn't seem 'official.'

    I did try and explain but all I had was people being rude, such a shame!

    Regards... Tom
