Hi everyone,
Well, I have been trying to make sure I have crossed all my t's and dotted all my i's. That brought me to a question: When I was monitoring my meter readings and comparing them to my neighbors, I saw something that I don't understand. I was at the meter and my husband was standing in the doorway of our home. All of a sudden the meter sped up! It literally flew around and around! I couldn't count it because it was going so fast. After about two full revolutions, it slowed down just as suddenly as it had sped up and ended up going at a rate slightly faster than the rate at which it was going previously. I asked my husband if he had heard ANYTHING come on in the house, specifically, the refrigerator compressor or the air conditioner. He said 'no'.

Has anyone ever heard of anything like that? Do you know what would make it do that? I even asked my liason and he said he had never heard of anything like that and couldn't give me an answer and he's an engineer.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thank you.
BobetteV.
