New Smart Meter to Measure Electric Use?
Last Update: December 04, 2017
Hi friends.
I got a letter from my electrical provider stating that they would be installing a new “Smart Meter” to replace the old analog one.
Does anyone have one of these already installed?
I can’t find much good about them online. But there are horror stories of people’s electrical bill doubling or more. And health concerns because of the waves they omit.
I’m unclear on whether I can refuse. Some said in PA it is mandatory.
I would love to hear your thoughts and experiences.

Hey Jean, I am from the UK and these so-called Smart Meters are relatively new, but hitting the tv's recently with their advertisements and so I did some research just over a week ago.
Very disturbing what I found out and you seriously need to think about this because these aren't smart at all. The name suggests this but that is why the name was changed to "Smart Meters"
Please do your research!!! Smart meters, do you have one and are you satisfied? Mick

Hi Jeannie:). This is funny that you asked this question tonight! I just finished writing a paper about climate change with one of my students, and some of the research we found said that these Smart Meters are supposed to help reduce global warming! Let's hope they really do!
