Not had any problems since the pass.Do smart meters cause soaring bills due to inrush currents recorded digitally? Low power factor equipment may cause this???? What is the hive mind conclusion?
Higher smart meter bills are almost certainly due to the variable tariff the energy suppliers provide as the standard recommended option. That's why they try to get you to agree to 1/2 hour meter readings. The half hour readings option was helpfully bordered in green in all the annoying letters I get from my supplier. Fark you SSE.Do smart meters cause soaring bills due to inrush currents recorded digitally? Low power factor equipment may cause this???? What is the hive mind conclusion?

Yes the half hour readings allow the supplier to work out when you use most electricity, morning shower, evening cooking etc. the variable tariff allows them to set the high usage times to a peak rate and the low use times such as at night or when you are at work to a low rate.Please excuse my ignorance but what difference would it make as to if its a half hour reading or 1 a day reading? At the end of the day you have still used the same amount of electricity. Or have I miss-read something?
