Hello all, I’m new here. Got some problem with the meter when I moved into a rental property last week. Googled a bit and seems like there are a lot of useful resources and helpful participant in this forum so tried to post a question here.
The property is an apartment in a block and all meters are located in the basement of the block. I’m not expert of meters but below few things of mine looked suspicious:
- It may not be showing clearly in the photo but there is a “X” at the bottom right corner of the display. Looking at other meters of the same model around, they are showing a square sign at the same location of the display.
- The red light is always on. Again - the same light of other meters is not on.
- The reading has been stale since I moved in last Friday.
- There are 5 lights (SW, WAN, etc) at the upper part. They are always off for my meter but showing green lights for other meter.
What should I do? Contact the agent, the onsite property management or the energy company? I don’t even have registered to an energy company right now. Because of the abnormal behaviour of the meter, I’m cautious that the meter reading may not be correct so I don’t want to take on the account with this reading.
Thanks a lot for your help!
