Our tools for Smart Metering
Smart meters are the latest generation of gas and electric meters, which will replace traditional meters in our homes. Smart meters take regular readings and share these wirelessly, through a secure network, with your energy supplier.
By the end of June 2023, over 33 million Smart meters were installed in homes and small businesses in the UK, equating to approximately 57% of all gas and electricity meters being of the smart or advanced type. Of the 33 million installations the highest proportion is for electricity meters at approximately 19 million, with a split roughly 18 million for domestic and 1 million for businesses installations.
With the rise of smart meters, installation will also need to take place, which is where Martindale comes in handy, with our specialist test equipment for smart meter installation. It is the complete solution to enable safe working practices during the installation of smart meters.
