Last month SECO installed the new smart meter.
On their website, last month included both the old meter and new meter.
As a result, there were two "usage" reads.

The average temp from June to July increased from 81 to 83 degrees.
(according to their website)
But when you add both meter's usage, our usage went up 100%.

No Way!!

Any body else??
Thanks in advance.
The new meters charge a rate for time of day and time of year and is not conducive to using anything during the summertime day. The snowbird season has the best rates. Do all your housekeeping, cooking business after hours and before the sun rises. Watch the a/c thermostat. Vampires get the best benefit from the new rate structures
