Consumer Energy Installing RF-Transmitting Gas Meters in Areas Served by DTE Electric.

Consumers Energy is installing "communicating modules" for gas meters where they provide gas service but DTE provides electric. A person will drive by to read them. These may be traditional AMR meters, which transmit only when a gun is pointed at them. On the other hand, they may be an ERT meter that is emitting RF radiation 24/7.

The only way to know is to email Consumers and ask them to send you the data sheets on this meter. In addition, ask them for the brand and model of the meter. Please email us the info at SmartMeterEducationNetwork@gmail.com.

You can OPT OUT of the transmitting meter. Contact Consumers. They aren't charging your to do it.

  1. I had one installed in the home I'm living in, in Wixom, Mi. The man installing it lied to me, and told me it doesn't transmit. I haven't slept well since they installed it, I called Consumers and of course they lied about it. In order to have the transmitter turned off I have to pay $167.00, and 10 dollars a month. It's a slow death for all of us.

    1. I am really sorry to hear this.

      Shield the gas meter. Get some aluminum window screening and wrap it all around it. They will still get their signal, but you will reduce the RF substantially. Make sure you write every member of the MI Legislature about this. We have the contact info on our Analog Meter Choice Bill page.

      How are you doing with the electric meter?

    2. I believe that Unknown commenter is talking about DTE. DTE does allow you to have an analog gas meter.

    1. Write to the Michigan House Energy Committee and the MPSC demanding an analog opt-out for gas meters everywhere.
