I have an old style meter - with the dials, for Electric - the gas meter is relatively new in comparison, installed in 2002 along with a gas supply! I have resisted all attempts to install a Smart Meter, but since joining Ovo energy - they have been persistent to say the least, phone calls nearly every week this last month. Now today I have had an e-mail: Would you believe it? Due to the age of your energy meter, its certification has expired. The Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy requires us (by law) to recertify it, so we're going to give you a completely new one. The great news is that you can now get a free smart meter upgrade, which means a shiny new meter to replace the old one. I don't want a smart meter, I don't want any disruption - I'm happy as I am thank you very much What are my rights? Can I request that they recertify my current ones? And then leave me alone for the next 10 years? or do I HAVE to have a smart meter?
