Before You Apply — Check You’re Eligible
Please read this before submitting your request:

  • You do not already have a smart meter installed at your property.

  • You want a smart meter, not just an In-Home Display (IHD).

    • If you need an IHD because yours is missing or broken, please contact Customer Support

  • Your meter location is accessible and safe for an engineer to work on.

  • You are happy for an engineer to attend within the next 2–3 weeks (subject to availability).

Getting a smart meter is quick and easy. Here’s how it works:

  1. Fill Out the Request Form
    Start by completing our short online form here to let us know you're interested.

  2. We’ll Contact You
    A member of our metering team will get in touch to get some details about your current meter and its location (we may ask for a photograph of your current meter after the call) and arrange a convenient appointment.

  3. Confirm by Email
    Once your appointment is booked, we’ll send you all the details by email to confirm.

Handy Info

  • The average time between booking and installation is 2-3 weeks. This may vary.

  • Installations take between 1-2 hours

  • It’s good to check where your meter is, if you haven’t already, ahead of the installation

  • The smart meter and its installation are both free of charge!

  • If your installation is cancelled by the engineer, we’ll contact you to get this rebooked

  • If you cancel within 3 working days of the installation, a £30 cancellation fee will apply

That’s it! We’ll take care of the rest and get your smart meter installed at a time that suits you.
