Ryan @ Santana Company barber shop

Edit - typo

Edie at Fleet Street Barbering is the best.

Bus maybe? I know there's definitely one that goes as far as Framingham but I'm not sure if they go all the way to Worcester.

Also, they can’t really rip you off via metering…The state audits a percentage of meters randomly yearly. Mechanical failure on meters is pretty low especially in newer meters that are digital versus older style glass meters which use a disk and gears to spin.

Your difference has nothing to do with the meter technically. It’s the program the meter is on. You just changed from AMI (“smart metering”)to AMR. Your meter more than likely was already being read wirelessly as 99% of residential are, because NG charges a fee to have someone come out and read your meter monthly. AMI meters are designed so you can use power during the cheapest time(off peak hours) to cut the costs.

Customer service is useless and 85% of the time have no clue what they’re saying. Just trying to get you off the line.

Pretty much everyone hates AMI though, as there’s no real instruction on how to use them properly. And a customer service rep has no clue about any of the technical details. They basically read from a script.

Alex, Adam and Mike at Advanced are awesome

Justin @ Axe to Grind on Shrewsbury St… the shop is sick too

Master barbers on 1174 Main Street. Set an appointment on Booksy with Mitch. 10/10

Yeah. I can definitely post another update in a couple weeks.

I called and asked 5 times before they finally did anything.

I go to Lauren at Axe to Grind

How did you go about getting your meter replaced?

Groommates

Can you post another update after a week or so? If your trend holds up…wow.

My concern would be that 18 hours might not be long enough to get an accurate ability to extrapolate a month’s worth of use.

The utility should offer rebates if it’s clear the old meter was way off. If you were being charged DOUBLE your actual usage, that’s insane.

I like sunrise salon in west boylston. The girl Becca there is an esthetician, barber and hairdresser. Spa experience barber, I can’t ever go back to a normal barber

Kay’s barber shop 💈

Josh @ Heartland Barber. Done. Next question.

I'm definitely going to be asking them about credits. From my discussions with them a few months back when my usage was over 1000 kwh then suddenly dropped after months of me calling in an complaining, sounds like they won't give credits. But, I'll be trying and going through more than just NG if needed. They need to be stopped from stealing people's money.

Hey that is great news!

Once you get your next bill with the lower usage post meter change I would ask them for a credit. You have a reasonable case for it.

Good luck!

I wish my bill was only $300...ours went up to $1,800 in November 🫠 I will definitely try a new meter!

Thanks for the heads-up! This is huge.

We got our new meter yesterday. In 18 hours, we've used 9 kwh. Using that, we should use about 12 kwh per day and 360 every 30 days. Obviously that can fluctuate depending on what we're doing, but that's still less than half of what we were charged for last month.

I think NG was ripping us off with the old meter we had that we didn't know how to read and no one could explain how to read.
