Locked

Here is the phone line option instead of having a radiation emitter.
Maybe the technology is available in other areas. Andrew http://www.progress-energy.com/custservice/carres/totalmeter/index.asp You can recieve more information about this program today by calling Progress Energy Carolinas at 1-800-452-2777. TotalMeter Program allows the company to read your electric meter remotely. With this new technology, no one needs to visit your home each month to record your energy usage. That means you don't have to remember to contain your dog or unlock your gate for your meter reader. And you may pick the monthly meter reading day most convenient for you. TotalMeters communicate with Progress Energy through your telephone line. The phone junction box must be within 10 feet of the meter. If not, you may choose the wireless option discussed later, or you can extend the telephone line, at your cost, to within 10 feet of the meter before sending in your enrollment. Your TotalMeter will dial into Progress Energy on a toll-free line between midnight and 6 a.m. on a monthly meter reading day you select. If you attempt to make a call, or someone calls you during the data transmission, the meter will hang up and allow your call to go through. The automated meters in this program also include surge suppressors that protect your phone lines from damage. The privacy, security and convenience of this program are available for just $5.10 per month for a residential address. If you do not want the meter to use your phone line and instead elect to use a wireless communication tool charges are $15.90 per month for residential accounts. To participate in the TotalMeter Program, you must sign up for a two-year commitment and you may be subject to a $50 termination fee if you choose to leave the program before the end of the two years. Please note that Progress Energy also retains the right to access the meter and other facilities at your property to install and repair equipment whenever necessary. |

Interesting - I wonder if that's available here...though the government seems really pumped up about wireless. I'll have to check. There's the problem with living in an affluent area (which we're not - we live in the old part of town!). You get selected for "wonderful" pilot projects.
