If You Call BC Hydro

You may be able to have them put you on a deferral list to have your meter installed in the summer instead of in the spring.
However...
You will first be transferred to their Smart Meter team, who will recite a long list of reassurances and rebuttals in an effort to convince you that Smart Meters are safe. Many people who remain unconvinced have been told they have no choice in the matter, or that if they refuse the Smart Meters, their electricity will be cut.
