Electricity Cuts: If you are facing frequent electricity cuts despite getting high bills for the same, it is a matter of concern. Due to the high rate of electricity, high bills are already a reason for tension and high bills after frequent electricity cuts can be surprising for anyone. If the same is happening to you, you need to check your electricity meter as this can be a major issue in your meter. Here’s what you need to do to fix this issue.
Reason for a Damaged Electricity Meter
Physical damage
This could be caused by anything from accidental impact (such as being hit with a tool) to extreme weather events such as lightning strikes or hailstorms.
Tampering
Someone may have deliberately tried to tamper with the meter to interfere with the electricity supply or to avoid paying their electricity bill.
Environmental factors
Exposure to extreme temperatures, humidity, or salt air can damage the meter’s internal components over time.
Wear and tear
Like any mechanical device, electricity meters are subject to wear and tear over time. This can cause the meter to become inaccurate or to malfunction altogether.
Electricity Fluctuations
Fluctuations in the electricity supply can be a major reason for a faulty meter. You should take your MCBs down in such cases to prevent any major faults in the electricity meter.
How to Get Your Electricity Meter Fixed
When you notice any fault in your electricity meter, you should immediately report this issue to the Electricity Board as they are the only authority that can repair and fix any issue in the meter. After registering a complaint for a damaged meter, they will arrive at your home to fix your meter resulting in proper electricity supply and reduced bills.
