The electricity distribution companies in our country are in charge of replacing the meters and at first, they have to make the change, communicating it previously to the consumers. In Lasose Properties & Investments we tell you how these new meters affect the control of our consumption.
The changes of the electricity meters are totally free, and the electricity distributors are the ones who have to install the meter, as well as charge the rent and take care of the maintenance. On the other hand, the marketing company is the one that issues the bill where the electricity consumption appears.
When the distribution company is going to change the meter, you have to be present in the house if you have a private meter, if the meter is in a common area, you do not have to be present. Likewise, the company must send the consumption reading when the change has been made and from then on, make the reading with the new meter.
Advantages for customers
