You’re only exposed to low levels of radiofrequency radiation from a smart meter.

Smart meters:

  • use a relatively low-power transmitter
  • are normally installed outside the building
  • only transmit periodically, using very brief signals.

Exposures to radiofrequency radiation from a smart meter are very low in comparison to the limits set out in the New Zealand radiofrequency exposure standard (even if the meter is installed inside the house).
