Electricity meters in homes are no longer needed: what did the power engineers come up with

Necessity for inventions is cunning, but in energy supplying companies they are not simpletons either. The widespread theft of electricity by consumers made them look for ways out. Soon everything will change, and the times when it was possible with the help of cunning devices to rewind the counter or stop it for several days are over. And that's what the power engineers came up with.

What owners of new homes will face when connecting electricity

More recently, developers of private houses were faced with the problem of not only competent installation electrical wiring with all relevant checks and diagrams, but also with the need to purchase a metering device and its installation.

Moreover, your quite reasonable argument that this device can be simply trite stolen will not be taken into account. And this is not such a rare problem. Even in cities where everyone is in sight, they steal meters in the courtyards and entrances of apartment buildings, and here - a quiet place, a dark night. But power engineers are adamant - if you want to put a meter inside the house, then you are going to steal electricity. Here is such a terrific mistrust.

But wait, dear comrades, why should we pay for this? But it turns out they shouldn't! The new rules, which came into force in 2020, just remove the burden of this material responsibility from the shoulders of consumers.

Invented by yourself - pay yourself

Now, since the power engineers have come up with the idea of ​​putting meters on the street, they have to pay for it. What does this installation give them?

From the moment such a decision is made, consumers are relieved of responsibility for the installation, safety and maintenance of such a device. All this must be done by the energy supply company itself. This includes replacing and checking the device in a timely manner. And if it is stolen, then this is also a headache for power engineers.

Don't buy or pay extra

So, as you already understood, there is no need to buy a meter. And what is surprising - they are still sold in stores! But soon this product will cease to be so popular. First - in new houses, and soon the process will reach the rest of the housing.

So - do not rush to buy a new meter, even if the time has come for its replacement. You need to contact your energy supply company and let them put it wherever they please.

I must admit that information that power engineers make homeowners not only buy metering devices, but also independently put supports for them, constantly comes from different regions. Well, what can I say - in this case you are being deceived, do not get fooled by such demands and insist on your own. Of course, if at the same time you are an honest payer, you are not going to carry out any frauds taking into account kilowatts.

How to find out the readings if the meter is on the pole

Indeed, how? And won't there be some kind of machinations on the part of the power engineers? First, you must be given an information display associated with the meter, by which you can monitor the readings.

Before installing the meter, you have the right to choose the type of device: one- or two-tariff. Moreover, your written consent is required. Otherwise, everything is as simple as before.

Here is a small video from the owner of a private house, which is just connected to such a system:
