How to Say No to a Smart Meter — And Mean It

If you’re here, chances are you care deeply about your health, your home, and your privacy. You’re not alone.

Smart meters are being installed on homes across the country without full transparency, and many people are left wondering if they even have a choice. The good news? You do.

Whether you’re looking to:

• Refuse a smart meter from being installed,
• Keep your current analog meter, or
• Have a smart meter removed —

You have the right to say no.

Why Opt Out?

Smart meters constantly emit RF radiation, often pulsing several thousand times a day. That’s a major concern if you’re focused on reducing EMF exposure in your home. On top of that, they collect detailed usage data that raises serious privacy questions.

You don’t need to justify your choice to anyone. If you’re grounded in your convictions about your health and your family’s well-being, stand firm.

The utility company might push back. You might get letters or calls. But remember — you are the one in charge of your home.

What You Can Do

1. Send a Certified Letter – This is your formal refusal. Make sure it’s on record. You can grab a sample letter template here.
2. Document Everything – Take photos of your current meter, note the dates of communication, and keep records.
3. Stay Calm and Clear – Be firm, be respectful, and repeat your position as many times as needed.

This is about protecting your space. You don’t need to argue or defend — just stand your ground.
