Smart meter replacement success

Hi Katherine

 

How are you?

 

I have some good news! Nova Energy will replace the meter with an analogue one, no problem! We have to pay

$55.

 

Meridian would not do anything despite my complaints.

 

So please put that out there..change to Nova…. they are still open to not doing smart meters, although they do support them they say, but also understand that not everyone wants them. I had quite a good chat with someone there who says that they are having other people phone them and wanting to get rid of their smart meter. I said that if they keep that policy they will get a lot of customers as people realise the health effects of the smart meters.

Yippee!!

Best Wishes and thanks for your support. If there is anything i can do to help the cause let me know.
