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.
Consumer Energy Installing RF-Transmitting Gas Meters in Areas Served by DTE Electric.
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.
ReplyDeleteI am really sorry to hear this.
DeleteShield 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?
I believe that Unknown commenter is talking about DTE. DTE does allow you to have an analog gas meter.
DeleteI'm not letting him on my property to touch my gas meter will have to kill me 1st
ReplyDeleteWrite to the Michigan House Energy Committee and the MPSC demanding an analog opt-out for gas meters everywhere.
