UrbanTurf Reader Asks: Are New Pepco Meters Resulting in Higher Bills?
A day after TBD reported that Pepco customers are receiving unusually high bills, an UrbanTurf reader asks if the increased charges could be the result of new meters.
At the end of December, a Pepco employee rang the buzzer of my condo and told me that he was changing the meters for my building. When I got my new bill it was twice as high as the previous month. Now I can understand a slightly higher bill in January than in December, but double the amount, was a little shocking. I called Pepco and the customer service representative said it was the result of increased electricity usage. But when I compared the two bills, my usage was only slightly higher in January than in December. I will tolerate Pepco charging me more for electricity usage, but if this is a mistake, I want to get it resolved. Has anyone else run into this issue and received a suitable answer/response from Pepco?
