If I was to move over to OVO and have a smart meter installed, where does it get installed? Will it be inside or can I have it outside? I don't want a smart meter installed inside my home because of negative effects on health that have been reported. Please let me know, thanks.

Smart meters replace your current meters, so will be fitted in the same place as your current meters (a cobwebby cupboard under the stairs or a meter box outside, it all depends on you current setup). There’s no need to be worried about having a smart meter installed inside though, all smart meter meters are rigorously tested and don’t pose any health risk. Read more about these smart meter myths below.
One of our community members has also written a great guide as to what to expect when getting a smart meter installed, which might help put your mind at ease.
If you’re worried that smart meters might not fit in your current meter location or are planning some home renovations you can schedule in a meter location appointment before making the smart upgrade by contacting our Support Team, be aware as a non-essential maintenance job we would charge for this work.
