Hi,

I just received a "Change New Meter" notice from TNB today..

I have a few questions..

a) During working hours, nobody at home...how they going to change my meter? will they climb inside my house or break my gate? (I heard they are gangsters)

b) I heard new meter uses new calculation...the electric bil will raise drastically...is it true?

Haiz, the notice like a bomb for me in 2012 year...what's a gift!!!

Can you ask them to come in the weekend? They have no right to come in your house without your permission. That is call trespassing.


Is the same type of meter just with tempered proof. I usually record my daily maybe 2 days once, so you can do that before they come over change, and after they come over change. See what's the difference.

so, rumour about electric will be raised after changed is not true?

key word rumour...

if your previous meter is tempered one sure change to new meter go up la...

ok..understand

2) They can't just go in without anyone escot
3) Try video down to prevent the claim you modifier
4) Digital type is more faster than Old Metal type lol, you could ask them is that proving by Sirim or not...hahaha

My gf parent home got notice change meter same as you. Since they don't want change, they went out and lock the gate. Make nobody home.

The tnb guy climb in and change the meter. Comeback, a new meter instal.

Added on January 4, 2012, 3:28 pmVery big percentage you will get caught. See, this tnb guy change your whole area meter. And sure every house will ask want to mod the meter or not. If high percentage house mod the meter, tnb will know from the high consumption lost.

Once open file investigate, habis lah you.

lol.. prepare the setback if kantoi..lots of moneh if kantoi...

they really climb!!!! they can do that??!!!

thanks for your advices...

If they never modifer than it will make no different on the outcome, hence nothing to be worry. If TNB later suit or claim they modifier the metak and TNB will in big trouble as that no probe and evidence when TNB remove the old meter. But I guess they should fill in a complain as evidence to be use on future

agree...

only way can do is go for green....use less electricity....

and work hard earn more money...^^
