Have any of you that have had smart meters installed noticed any problems?
My local utility switched from the old analog meters to all digital (smart) meters about a year ago. I haven't personally noticed any problems, but I've been hearing complaints from a lot of people that their usage has doubled since the change. Others are blaming the meters for every health issue from headaches to hemorrhoids. Some of the people complaining sound like morons while others seem to have a pretty good argument. Many haven't noticed a change at all.
As for the usage, I've been wandering if the old meters were that far out of calibration or if the new meters have a problem. What have you noticed?
