ᐅ Smart Meter – Still Not a Standard Feature in New Construction?

On Monday, our electricity meter was installed (NetzeBW). Since this is a new build and we have installed a photovoltaic system and an air-to-water heat pump, I assumed that the network operator would automatically install the latest generation electricity meter—a smart meter. Not the case. A regular digital meter is installed in the electrical cabinet.

How is it with you? We would be willing to pay higher meter fees; that wouldn’t be an issue. However, we weren’t even offered a smart meter.

Do you have to specifically request a smart meter from the utility provider? Are there any additional costs involved?
Do smart meters have any disadvantages (apart from higher fees)?

The internal meter? Where do you get the separate consumption values for heating and domestic hot water?
If the answer is "from the heat pump," that's only a rough estimate anyway.

Bungalow about 1800 kWh per year.

Are you referring to a separate heat pump meter?

Yes, a separate heat pump meter. It’s worth it for us with the electricity price at 20 cents per kWh.
