SCE will not let me put an Sangamo watt hour meter 74505106 on my house. Instead they put their Silver opt out meter on my house’ Which still emits radiation. I don’t know what to do.

Jim,
Are you able to measure the frequency between 5KHz and 490KHz? I ask this because there is new technology called G3-PLC which will create a pulsed low frequency electromagnetic field throughout the building. It is by far deadlier than a smart meter.

The meter that they put on my house when I signed up for the opt out program turned out to be a meter that still functioned just like a smart meter. It looked like an analog meter but when I researched it on the internet I found out that it had an RF transmitter in it along with a 32k memory card to collect data. So the meter can be remotely operated. I got so over dosed with the smart meter that now I am EMF sensitive. I can tell when I am around anything that emits RF signals. My ears started ringing really loud one night and I knew it was the meter and when I took a reading on my EMF detector sure enough it was transmitting big time.

So why do they need to charge $10 a month when they can read it remotely?
Edison is getting to be a real scary company and so is the CPUC for letting them get away with this kind of stuff.

I agree with Robert, Once a year to read and one time fee of $10. SCE people should not have an extra excuses since they pretty much know how much consumption is used per family. THIS IS A RIP OFF!!!

Bummer we have to pay extra monthly
not to have it. Wonder how long it will
take for that fee to start creeping up. lol

It was installed against our will. I never wanted it installed. Do I now have to opt-out and pay $75 to have them put an old meter back on? Also $10 a month to have it read. Can’t I go to their level pay plan and have it read only once a year and only pay $10 a year? SCE says that the $10 is so someone can read the meter. So one time a year is $10 a year. Right?
