Looking to get a smart meter installed?
OVO are currently installing Aclara S2 electricity meters and Flonidan S2 gas meters. To check whether these would fit in your current meter space, see the meter dimensions below.
Height = 16 cm
Width = 13 cm
Depth = 6.5 cm
Height = 26 cm
Width = 23.5 cm
Depth = 17 cm
We previously installed Secure S1 smart meters with the following measurements:
Height - 178mm
Width - 146mm
Depth - 64mm
Height - 264mm
Width - 235mm
Depth - 174mm

Why are the new Smart Meters so large, compared to the units they are suipposed to be replacing.
We have a GEC C11B which is 175 x 136 x 112mm. This is one of the most commonly fitted meters in the UK. The current electric smart meters being installed by OVO are larger than this, and there is no extra space available on our electricity distribution board.
Why did the brains behind the smart-meter scheme not look at the size of the existing meters, and ENSURE that they could do like-for-like swap-outs, with the cable connectors in the same place as the old units.
We would like to get the meter replaced, but I cannot afford to rip cupboards and walls out to do it.
