Smart meters currently report your usage through mobile networks, which can be unreliable in certain areas, particularly if you live in a rural location. This can lead to readings not being sent, which can lead to confusion over bills for both you and your energy company.
Why are my bills higher with a smart meter?
If you hadn’t provided regular reading previously then your bills may have been under-estimated and therefore appear to increase after a Smart Meter is installed. As a smart meter sends us a reading when we need it you can be sure your bill is spot on and avoid any nasty bill surprises in future.
