meters reported back to the home office. Someone came out shortly afterwards and replaced the meters, but<br />
not before the computer chips in the fans fried. They said new chips were around $700 (I didn’t ask if that was<br />
for the whole house, or each of the four fans they have). They were too nice to report that to PG&E, let alone try<br />
to file a complaint to get paid back for the damage caused by the meters.<br />

I have lived in my home for over 25 years. I have a propane stove, heater and water heater. I<br />
have never EVER had a bill over $250 and that is with a jacuzzi on during winter months! Since<br />
the new “smart meter” has been installed my bills have been almost $600 a month! I cannot<br />
afford to keep doing this! I do not even use the heater and my grandbabies are COLD! This is<br />
ridiculous! Someone please tell me what I can do???!!!<br />

We just had a smart meter put in.<br />
I have a 4 year old $2,000.00 Toshiba HDTV that was working just fine. KRCB is ~22-1~22-2 and 22-3<br />
Now with channel 22-1 on and coming in fine my TV freezes, turns off, and turns on and and will cycle this way<br />
for ever while on 22-1<br />
22-2 works well~22-3 and any of the other digital channels will do the same, the other non hyphen channels<br />
available come in.<br />
22-1~22-2~22-3 are all KRCB the tv picks up all the non-channels and I use a rabbits ears.<br />
I am thinking you should have available from your own staff for us the frequency of the RF waves from the<br />
meters that are provided by PG&E so that we can compare to the frequency’s of our remote controls<br />
This is new, it just happened after the meter went in<br />

Well, my <strong>Smart</strong>Meter experience has gotten off to a very rocky start, right on the installation day. My meter is<br />
not behind a fence (i.e. there’s open access to it from the street). Apparently, PG&E took this as an invitation to<br />
install the <strong>Smart</strong>Meter while I was not home and without any notice. I had left my dishwasher on delayed run<br />
mode and came back to it having been halted mid-cycle thanks to this little upgrade. More seriously, I have a<br />
dozen fish tanks on GFCI outlets and the upgrade tripped 50% of the outlets, leaving those fish tanks without<br />
filtration and heaters (granted they don’t need heaters today) for several hours until I got home to manually<br />
reset the GFCI outlets. I’m just glad I got off work early today, because had I got home at my normal time, I’d<br />
have come home to sick or dead fish. These are not cheap fish either, nor ones I could replace locally, and they<br />
don’t take kindly to being unfiltered.<br />

… when PG&E shows up to install your new “smart meter,” they will have to remove your old meter first… This<br />
