I contacted our utility provider, problem is I live in a duplex so I would have to pay for both meters replaced. If the people who move in there would not want to pay extra every month they would go back to a smart meter. I did buy covers for both of them. Is that sufficient?

The latest from Rochester, NY: On 11/23/24 the “death wagon” (RGE/GridOne) ravaged my neighborhood with stealth meter switching – of which I had notified the RGE President/CEO since 1/23. Without permission or notification before or afterwards, they came onto properties and installed microwave meters. They even did it to properties that had opted out. My 2 neighbors didn’t want them but were switched. ( I, of course, have padlocks through my meter box). TRISH NILSEN, Pres/CEO, stated publicly for years that you could have your analog back but when we made the appointment they said, “we don’t have any”. I guess the hundreds they remove just evaporate. I was displaced from my medically-modified home on 11/23/24 and have lived in an unheated attic room all winter – separated from my medical equipment. Instead of simply replacing the meters, RGE has repeatedly targeted me with many hate and other crimes. The latest was removing me from the medical equipment roster behind my back and calling my doctor behind my back (HIPAA violation). In December I received – with no cover letter or explanation – damage claims forms. When I ask why they said I ordered them. So apparently NILSEN or her corporate attorney JEFFREY ROSENBLOOM impersonated me and had these sent to pacify me after displacing me. I have submitted 5 sets of these claims forms and they are never acknowledged and certainly not reimbursed. I am being charged 50/day for emergency housing on an income of 1K/month SS. Of course, I still pay for my “chernobyl house”. As of this morning, RGE’s “meter supervisor” has advised me that RGE will not disclose the locations of the collector meters. I am currently seeking a toxic tort attorney. I need to find an actual mitigation expert – not just someone who sells devices. Any ideas?

My utility company shut my electricity off on the 28th of January because I will not use their new meter. It causes me a lot of pain and the transformer in my yard is sending out very high current into my home can they do this? My bills are paid yet I have no lights or gas. I am not good on the computer because of my high sensitivity . I don;t know what you are asking for.

I do agree, that you should not change the meter by your self. But I don’t think that the analogue belongs to Hydro. As a matter of fact, the rumor is that the analogue belongs to the U.S. After all “Corix” is an U.S. Co. As for the real owners of the analogue meter. Well anything that is attached to a house , belongs to the house. Did you ever try to sell your home and take all the attachments with you? I don’t think so, because it is usually requested to leave them. Than the other issue, Hydro is a public utility. Unless secretly sold, it belongs to the public. All they are trying to do with force, is to sell their smart meter. they are no more than high pressured salesmen, trying to protect their investments.
