Since having Smart Meters fitted, I have TOTALLY regretted it! With the previous meters you knew exactly the times when Economy 7 came on and went off, (1 hour earlier in winter GMT time). With Smart Meters the variation of times with E7 on and off, is vast! Sometimes the E7 stays on up to 9.20am and other times the E7 goes off at 6.40am BST, 1 hour earlier in winter GMT. With older heaters like mine that are over 30 years old, the heat retention is not very good, and if the heater goes off at 5.40am GMT, later in the afternoon they are barely warm, and almost cold in the evening. The timings of Smart Meters are highly unreliable, definitely NOT suitable for Storage Heated homes with older heaters. IN MY VIEW THIS IS A TOTAL FAILURE OF TECHNOLOGY. I will demand to have previous meters restored! I am a 72 yo man with health problems, and heating technology that is USELESS!
