Over 146,000 UK homes must switch from old meters to smart ones before summer shutdown.
Over 146,000 UK households still using outdated Radio Teleswitch Service (RTS) meters are urged to switch to smart meters before the system’s full shutdown this summer.
The phased rollout, paused in winter to protect heating and hot water, resumed in March for England and Wales and April for Scotland.
More than 300,000 RTS meters have been replaced since January 2025, but about 154,000 remain, with only 8,000 replacement appointments scheduled.
Energy UK, Ofgem, and consumer groups warn that without action, customers risk losing control of heating and hot water or facing inaccurate bills.
Free smart meter replacements are available, often compatible with existing time-of-use tariffs, and suppliers encourage affected customers to contact them immediately.
