Digital/Smart meter

[Scottie68]

AGL are upgrading my electricity meter to digital. Is this going to be a painless process? I highly doubt it.
The meter is being changed one week into the new billing period. Does this mean I will be billed for the last week that the old meter is in service then another bill dated from when the digital meter is installed? I will be overseas when this change takes place, so will be unable to address any issues should they occur. 
Wish me luck

Hi @Scottie68 

I can understand your concern for what will happen with your bills when the meter gets changed. 

You won't get billed for a single week after receiving your next bill. 

When the meter is changed, they will take a meter reading for the meter being taken, which will be added onto the next bill with the usage from the digital meter. 

If you are concerned of something happening, I would recommend you take a picture of your meter with the reading before you go on your holiday. 

Thanks, and enjoy your vacation, Chris
