Message from North Yorkshire Trading Standards Following a presentation to Trading Standards from the national Energy Advice (www.nea.org.uk) regarding the national roll out of Smart meters for domestic consumers, please be aware that these are free of charge and will be installed by your energy provider during a pre arranged appointment. Please be aware of any ‘traders’ offering to install for a fee and ALWAYS ask to see identification of anyone entering your home. Reputable traders will always carry and show identification.
