I have set up the house quite well to save power, then had smart meter fitted as they kept pushing. Has made no savings whatso ever.
Not worth having except to them. I feel i have been conned.
A smart meter doesn't make any savings in itself.
It can help you to see how you are using energy, and therefore may help you to change your usage.
It is also necessary if you are going to have your own energy source installed and want to export anything from it.
But apart from any possible benefit to you, the government have set a target for the energy companies for the number of smart meters they must install. And that target basically means that about 80% of domestic customers should be on smart meters by the end of 2024.
