Inform them by e-mail that you will not be in at that time, nor
at any time of their choosing? I thought that you could refuse to
have them installed, unless you had agreed as part of some tariff
deal?

Well you could always switch to someone like Bulb who I believe are
cheaper, wont force a smart on you and will pay your exit fees from
SP.

That is an interesting point. I got an email from E.ON saying that a
smart meter was a condition of my tariff. I refused and they have not
pressed the point but I need an escape route. So thank you,


I recently had to update my E.on tariff, and the general blurb
describing the different tariffs mentioned something about Smart
Meters, in a throw-away manner, for the cheapest tariff. But when I got
down into the nitty-gritty, then it became clear that I would be
agreeing to have one if I took that particular tariff.
No, thanks.
But it was clear as long as you read the T&Cs, it wasn't hidden.
