Before installation, confirm with your electricity retailer who is arranging it, any fees, the proposed date, and whether your tariff or contract will change. Make sure the meter location is accessible, ask about solar or other special equipment, and keep a copy of your latest meter reading and bill. After installation, check the meter number, supply address and starting reading, then monitor your first bill for the correct tariff and usage data. Contact your retailer promptly about discrepancies, and check the official energy regulator or energy.gov.au for information about smart meters in your state or territory.
