The product, in the report: FlexNet Smart Meter
June 6th, 2015 this caller was home when a repair tech from the electric company knocked on her door and advised her that her smart meter was about to catch fire and it was due to her wiring.
(She had an electrician at her own expense to check the wiring of her home ten years prior to this time because she was having problems with so many appliances and the electric company said it was her wiring but inspection by the electrician then proved that her wiring was excellent.)
The tech from the electric company knocked on her door a second time and advised the caller that he tightened too tightly and had broken the bolts to connect the meter to her house.
She was informed that she would have to wait until a new smart meter to be brought out and connected.
She is reporting this incident because the smart meter was overheating and could present a fire hazard.
She lives in a wooded area in a wooden home.
There are no injuries being reported.
She was contacted by [REDACTED] from Talquin Electric on June 18th, 2015 and she states that he spoke with her as if she was a nut.
The Smart Meter 530x Flex Net Icon sensus meter has arcing problems. Several people have died as a result of this model of smart meter due to fires. They are defective & have arcing problems.
Talquin Electric is not regulated by the Florida Public Utility Commission. They are a co-op & received federal money for this project. People in Talquin should not be endangered by their smart meters. June 18 Mr. [REDACTED told the caller she could replace with old fashioned meters but it would cost $40.00 (forty dollars) per month extra. That’s extortion!
The meters have been banned in many states across the country, Australia, Canada. There is a class action starting against them in FL but due to Talquin being a co-op they cannot fall under Florida Public Utility perview.
Please assist. If the caller’s home catches on fire from outside she will be dead before fire alarm goes off.
Please research this meter. A gentleman was “laid off” from Sensua, an Engineer, for not continuing to look the other way. Truly yours, [REDACTED]
