Here's a question no one has asked. Why is the meter
in a box that is locked? I've never seen this before.
Do you know if similar meters are all locked? Why
not ask the electric company to leave the box unlocked?
That way at least you could see what the actual meter
is doing.
Hi,
Often saw in my working days, meter inside a box but it always had an
opening(window) so one can see the reading and so on.
