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,
E.on put my tariff up about 40% (I squeezed in a really good one just
before last year's price rise, so it was a bit dramatic this year). I
decided on Bulb or So Energy, but picked the latter because it was fixed
for a year. Neither insist on a smart meter.
Amusingly, I got a phone call from E.on trying to get me back ("you are a
valued customer..."). I mentioned the meter and he went a bit quiet. Then
I mentioned the price rise, and he said they have tariffs that "aren't on
the Internet". One of those would be attractive (he said). I said that if
I was really valued, I'd be on that already, and he gave up.
