Meter Readings- Con Ed, DEP, NG

I asked Con Ed to install a remote/ outside reader and they told me no. I can’t be home for the meter readers. How can they say no to this? Also I have a remote reader for gas meters, but nevertheless they knock on my door to read meters. Is there an outside company that I can contract to install these?
The NY Public service commission has a complaint line for consumers to file complaints. Con Ed doesn’t like complaints sometimes they will do a remote reader to resolve a complaint. BUG did mine even though its not required yet. Con Ed is doing an experiment in one county for remote readers. We aren’t it
A remote reader isn’t outside its a blue tooth type thing added to your meter….
Moving the electric meter outside is not cheap. It will cost you a few thousands.
For Con Ed I phone it in or enter it on their website.
My water meter and gas meter readings are done remotely. For some reason, the national grid gas readings sometimes show up as estimated and other times actual (and for the actual readings we don’t have to let a meter reader in).
Electric, gas and water meters are read remotely all around the country. I suspect its the unions that keep it from happening here.
Phone in your readings or go to the website.
i think you can get a remote reader for your electric meter but you have to have a health issue that keeps you from getting down to your meter. something like that. call con-ed and check.
There’s a simple solution. You can read the meter yourself and enter it on Coned’s website. They send you reminder emails when it’s time to do that.
As far as I know electric meters can only be read from the meters themselves (in your basement or where ever they are located). No device exists for reading electric meters remotely.
That is why you’ll notice the meters on the outside of a lot of the new construction, Federer’s type, buildings.
A lot of people wall, or gate, off the section of their basement with the meters and give a key to Con-Ed for the basement hatch/door so they can go in themselves.
