Pretty much what it says above. If I have a smart gas meter - why would someone want to read it?
A fella knocked today and asked if he could read the meter. I told him we had a smart one. He said the energy company had sent him out, as they often did, just to do a check. It sounded a bit dodgy and I told him to eff off.
It wouldn't have been a big security issue as he wouldn't have had to come into the house to take a reading. However, I was under the impression that once you had one of these meters they wouldn't have to take readings and nor would I - it was one of the attractions.
We've had the meter for two years now and nobody has ever knocked-on asking to have a look.
Any advice from the UKC hive mind?
Edit: I posted this before I realised that there was another meter questions post.
