I am having the most absurd argument with E.ON after the power firm’s smart meter installation wrecked our five-year-old gas boiler and it then refused to pay for the repairs. Our new tariff required us to get a smart meter for each and so in August E.ON’s contractor, Morrison Utility Services, arrived to install them. But when it turned the electricity supply back on after installation, our previously working boiler would not restart. But there are so many cases of boilers not restarting after a smart meter installation I’ve decided that it’s not worth the risk. The fact that E.ON refused to help someone whose boiler was less than six years old only accentuates this view.
