Over Billing of Meralco due to Digital Meter?

[jdee12]

Good Evening tsikooters,

Badtrip na badtrip ako sa Meralco. Imagine, tumira ako ng 1 month dun sa maliit na bahay ko sa Makati. Ang gamit ko lang dun ay elec.fan, 5 cubic feet na refrigerator, 22 inch na TV at 3 10 watts na fluoresecent lamp. Pati washing machine pa pala, PC at Dvd player.
Imagine inabot ng 3,700 bill ko? Eh halos 10 hours akong wala sa bahay. Dati normal bill ko ay 1,700 lang. Medyo madalas pa ako mag computer nun. Tapos pinalitang ng digital ang meter ko, ayun ngkanda loko-loko na. Yung kapitbahay ko dun nag aaircon tuwing gabi ng 3/4 HP eh bill nila 3,800. Tapos madami pa sila sa bahay. Yung electric meter nila yung luma pa rin.

Ano ba pwede ko gawin dito?

Bro., try forwarding your complaint to Meralco.

Call 16220 or 16211. I believe they'll address your problem professionally.

Kabadtrip talaga. Nag tatawanan kami ng kapitbahay ko na may aircon. Sabi niya dapat daw ng aircon na rin ako dun. Wala lang din daw iniba sa bill.
Hahaha

nangyari na din yan sa kaibigan namin. sa makati din.

nung una old house, madami sila appliances at madami sila sa bahay, ang bill nasa 10k.
nagpagawa sila ng bagong bahay same street, bagong malaking bahay, green design sya so less gamit ng electricity sa umaga.

ayun doble ang kuryente dahil sa digital meter.

seriously, i think meron modus ang Meralco dito. at tingin ko din madami ang apektado - kelangan lang mainform ang lahat na something's going on.

Yep call them up. They have a usage history and peaks like that are unusual unless you added more load to the system. Check the usage graph on your bill. Kung tumaas bigla na wala namang bagong appliance there's something wrong with the meter. Kung di naman tumaas pero ang amount due tumaas may problema ang billing system.

Tinatawanan ka ng kapitbahay mo dahil naka jumper siya saiyo

Pero kung friendly friends kayo bigla ng kapitbahay mo magduda ka na hehe.

Happened to us pero na misread lang ang meter (old analog) halos nag-triple ang bill namin. Meralco resolved it in less than a week.

I've talked to someone working at Meralco, digital meters are actually more accurate than thr conventional meter

Meralco also overbilled me once. This happened when my meter was found to be defective and they changed it along with some backcharges which tripled my bill.

Kayang kaya yan i-tamper ng mga buy and sell.

Bro, the best remedy for your troubles is look/buy an analog wattmeter - GE square type; let it be calibrated by Meralco. Connect it inside your house for monitoring purposes. After every month, your actual kwh used should tally with kwh used on your bill. Kung masyadong malaki ang difference, baka may nakasabit sa linya mo. The difference should not be greater than 2kwh. A 1% error is neglible.

I have a pamphlet about decreasing the reading of your analog meter but all are illegal (4 or 5 methods); at saka, may karma yan.

The only legal way is to buy a device that will make your electrical phase to unity. I have seen it on TV (from Taiwan, around P3000 or whereabouts.) Beware, marami raw peke.
