Companies are remotely turning off meters for billing reasons when that isn't completely safe? They're just hoping and assuming if they do it at night there won't be much load? That doesn't sound very reassuring.
- jacquesm 3y agoName one instance where this led to a problem. Utilities are - if anything - usually quite responsible and if they mess up they are liable for any damage they cause.
- iudqnolq 3y agoI don't know anything here. I was just reacting to what I learned reading your post. The behavior you described sounded dangerous.
- jacquesm 3y agoIt isn't. It just saves a trip to the premises and makes reconnecting a lot easier. There are still extra fuses upstream from that particular disconnect (on premises, typically in the box just below the meter). Nothing to worry about, even if it would short out completely.
