Do smart gas meters give a warning when their batteries are low before the supply gets cut-off?

I can see why this article has got you worried - so let’s do some fact-checking to put your mind at ease!

All gas meters (smart and traditional) have an internal battery which powers the screen or dial (they aren’t wired to the power supply like your electricity meter). When the battery is low you may notice your gas meter will emit a beeping sound. Unfortunately meter batteries aren’t easily interchangeable like replacing the batteries in a remote control so if the battery has failed, then the meter will need to be replaced to prevent you losing power if the battery fails. If your gas meter is making an electronic beeping sound, reach out to our Support Team to confirm this and book in a free meter exchange. 

We often find that there’s a lot of misinformation and scare-mongering in the reporting around smart meters, so we’ve put together some FAQs to help sort the fact from fiction:
