Why? So your electricity costs more due to them having to roll a truck when no physical presence is necessary?
Sorry, I have no sympathy for this. If you want electricity, it should be metered how the company who sells it to you wants it to be metered. Otherwise, disconnect the juice and live off-grid.
Involuntarily have a SM on my house currently. FPL - we’ve only lost service a couple times in a yr. And after HURRICANE WILMA we were only out 2.5 days! Across the street was out for 2 wks though. Gotta hand it to FPL on that one. Hurricane Andrew wiped out electricity for 2 months.
Last month’s electric bill was $50 for 29 days. $1.75/day.
I don’t like the freq. though. It’s microwave. Microwaves fry. Depends on the duration, proximity etc. but it is not negligable. Our houses are CBS, so that’s the only reason I don’t care about the EMR. If I was in a wooden house, I would be more concerned.
Didn’t the original engineer for Motorola’s cell phone get a brain tumor?
If they want an electronic one. Fine. they can install it. However, when that meter takes over how I want to use MY electricity that I pay for.. well.. we have a problem.
As it is. My electric company has no intention of replacing meters with “smart” ones.
They are in the business of selling electricity, not limiting ones ability to use it.
my gas company however charges more per unit the more you use.
