Also, you know who you are dealing with. I look after my mother in laws energy supplier and for the last 3 years we have had an email saying “sorry you are leaving “ . Turned out that Look after my Bills had got someone’s data wrong and were switching (or trying) the MiL every year. Hopefully stopped it now but have to wait til next year....
Is it really that Much of a faff to take readings a couple of times a year. Takes a couple of minutes max
Not if it's a couple of times a year. My supplier wants it every month 'to keep up to date' which requires ladders and torches etc.
Can you still take/see the readings on the meters ?
On the actual meters, which for us are in the garage? Yes. The smart meter does not eliminate the meters it is just meant to send the supplier the readings on a regular basis without human intervention so that the bills are always accurate. It is also meant to change behaviour but that is a separate issue.

In effect I would say to anyone, get the meter fitted. It costs you nothing, it does not stop you checking readings old style and should be a plus, if only the stupid things worked correctly
Very odd. Avro only have one tariff offer at a time.
No idea to be honest. The installers failed to turn up 3 times before fitting. One eventually arrived and installed it but it stopped working after 6 months. We notified our supplier, nothing. To say I've lost heart or caring is not quite enough. We used to update our readings every month online, we just do the same now as well. Not a hardship.
Keep us updated for next year
