Smart Energy GB Reviews 4

When will SMS GB. accept that not everyone in our country wants or needs a smart meter. You have tried every trick in the book from blatant deceptions, cajoling and bullying people, into having us believe that it would be to our benefit having one of these devices fitted. How many millions has this flawed project cost to date? How much longer must we keep having "cold calls" on our phones, when we have given a definitive reply that we do not want a "smart meter"? How much longer must we endure these stupidly, unconvincing and pathetic adverts, with a supposedly smart "Einstein"advising us what the energy suppliers want us to believe? Don't you realise that most of the people in our country are not stupid and can see through your untruths and deceptions. Why would anyone want to give total control to suppliers of energy, whereby, they could change your tariff, even cut off your supply if and when it suits them? I read that 1 in ten smart meters do not work properly. In conclusion, why SMS GB, do you continue to " flog a dead horse" or is it a mandate from energy suppliers to extract even more money from their already hard pressed customers?

These lot seem to connected to EDF whic is one of thr WORST companies in the UK

Smart Meters are NOT dangerous. Regardless of the nonsense in the other review about microwaves.

However as a thing, smart meters are not doing well.

Changing suppliers is NOT easy. I have been nagging British Gas for well over a year to start taking readings and they still haven't managed.
This is not my first experience like this. originally I got a smart meter that my subsequent provider (Robin Hood Energy) could not read so they put in a new one. (A Liberty 100). Now, over a year after nagging British Gas about reading this one, British Gas say they can't read it! They need to install another one. My third smart meter. You really could not make this up.

Smart Energy GB have a 'myth busting' bit on their website saying that difficulty in moving suppliers is a myth. Well, my experience is that difficulty in moving suppliers is the normal experience of users of these things.

Update 28th September 2021

Yay! Now on my FOURTH smartmeter. Installed yesterday and the kitchen monitor (<10ft from meter) has stopped working. You really could not make this up.

This website is the shopfront for smart meters in the UK. It is propaganda; advertising the 'convenience' of smart meters based on alleged (and spurious) money-saving, which has been proven to be a lie. And the 'convenience' of a little gadget in your house that shows you your daily energy usage in a 'convenient' little LED screen.

Folks, smart meters emit powerful microwave radiation into and around your home 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Whilst you're awake and whilst you're asleep. The microwaves penetrate houses, human body tissues, your pets - everything except metal. They have been shown to cause health problems - just like the mobile phone, wifi and other microwave devices.

You have the right to refuse the installation of a smart meter! Just write to your billing company and tell them you are refusing to have one installed. Check youtube for lots of info on health hazards associated with so-called 'smart' technologies.

You can get a gauge of your electricity and gas usage with most companies using a traditional hard-wired meter and entering your readings on your billing company website once a month. Do you really need daily or hourly readings at the price of your health??

This Smart Energy GB website fails to provide readers with accurate information on these facts. As such it is grossly misleading. In short, there is noting 'smart' about smart technology.
