bad trip ang meralco,

 

magpapalit ka lang ng name sa subscriber line ay considered ng new subscriber yon. new subscriber meaning nawalan na ng loyalty yung account dahil natatakan ng new. worst pa ay dapat kang magdeposit ng one month of your monthly electricity bill. ibig sabihin ay kung 5,000 pesos monthly electricity bill mo ay dapat 5,000 pesos din ang deposit for change of name. BAD trip ito.

 

Konswelo de bobo yung meron daw refund if ever mag pa terminate. Pero with all honesty, pagnabenta mo na yung bahay and the rights of your electricity line which is worth more than a million eh ang tanong ay "INTERESADO KA PA BANG KUNIN YUNG DEPOSIT?"

Sorry, first time I saw the thread. I have a similar one in the free ONLINE consultation part of this forum. however, better late than never.

 

 

kaya nga lousy service wala kc kalaban eh, look at PLDT at least nag improve ng konti yung service since meron na sila competition

 

you wish. pldt can choose their customers, which is why I am using digitel right now. pldt refuses to install a phone in our house.

 

meralco is law bound to provide power to everybody. same as all power distributors in the country.

you can sue meralco if they refuse to provide you with electricity

 

 

 

Yung refund daw makakaavil ka lang kung 3 years kang hindi nakakakuha ng disconnection notice. Pwede ba yun? :thumbsdownsmiley:

 

dont know what refund you are talking about but the your meter deposit will be returned regardless whether you have received a disconnection notice in the past.

that is correct, as you will sign a new contract that is upgraded in terms of today's money worth.

 

any deposit made by the previous account will be returned with interest. the new contract will have a new value for your bill deposit. a trade off since all distribution utilities are law bound to provide power to everybody, they can collect bill deposits to insure their services will be paid even if the owner decided to cancel the service contract.

 

dont know about "rights to power lines", no such thing exists. all power companies are law bound to provide power. this can be true if you bought the post (private post), the lines (private lines) and the transformer (private equipment) for your service. however, you can also sell these to the next owner, no problem from the power company.

 

 

 

Try comparing each others electrical bills and you'll notice everybody is charged a different kilowatt hour rate. Just another example of how Meralco and the Lopezes are screwing us all.

 

that is true. for industrial users, its like buying bulk, the more you buy, the cheaper it will get.

 

for residential, the opposite is true. residential users are classified as small users, hence facilities were designed with this in mind. which is why the discounted rates apply to very small users, these users dont put a strain on a power company's installed facility. makes the facility available for more customers.

 

large residential users can now avail of meralco's time of use (TOU) scheme so that they can plan their consumption and reduce their power bill

kaya ako gumamit na lang noong power saver na nabibili sa ACE hardware and from 3500 nareduce ang bill ko ng 3000... Naimprove ang efficiency ng koryente ko. 1 buwan na lang bawi ko na ibinili ko, babawi na ako sa Meralco... :hypocritesmiley:

 

hindi kaya jumper nilagay mo? erferferf

 

saving energy is not getting back at meralco, altho you may think of it as that way

may refund daw meralco,,,goood news!!!! ito pamatay,,bago sila magrefund,,mag increase muna sila ng charges,,hhehe,galing ano? parang ung pang refund nila sa atin din kukunin...parang di sila swapang ano?

 

the meter deposit return, cera refund and rate increase are all separate issues and are entirely unrelated to each other.

maybe this thread should be merged with the transparency in meralco thread. useless having duplicate thread. mahihirapan lang si robbietan kaka check ng dalawang thread.

 

on a different matter, yung mga 'power savers' ba umaandar talaga? kasi ang alam ng limited ko engineering knowhow eh unless malaki ang load ng user, negligible ang matitipid sa kinakabit sa socket to save on electricity.

 

senyor robbie tan, yaman din lang ikaw ang expert dito, can you enlighten us on this please. para hindi naman kami ma-denggoy ng mga nagbebenta ng mga ganito. at paki duplicate na rin sa other thread.

 

salamat po

most of the the "power savers" I see are found in malls and infomercials. these units are nothing but capacitors with a fancy LED light show. these will not save you money, they might even add to your consumption

 

residential customers are billed in kilo-watt-hours. these units do not reduce kilowatt consumption, nor protect appliances from "surges"

 

industrial and commercial customers are billed with "demand" and "power factor discount/penalty". if these units are large enough, the demand charges might be lowered and additional discounts in improved power factor might be realized by these customers. however, they are better off buying industrial sized capacitors for their needs. and having harmonic studies done before the capacitors are installed

 

the DOE and the DOST has NOT CERTIFIED ANY "POWER SAVER" device. do not believe any vendor who says otherwise.

 

hahahaha asa pa tau.. pati power consumption ng office nila tau pala nagbabayad.

tapos laging lugi daw...

 

under the EPIRA law, ALL utilities are entitled to use 1% of their power sales as consumption of their offcies, substations etc.

bully for the employees of the aboitizes, their employees get free power. the meralco employees do not have that luxury. I even know of cases where a meralco employee was terminated becuase his house had a jumper

Sobra tagal gumalaw.

 

Can't wait for the monopoly to end!

 

 

napocor has finally reached the 70% privatization of their power plants

and has scheduled the bidding for its IPP contracts. they say in the middle of 2009, open access can begin

 

konting panahon na lang. altho unless the small consumers form a large entity, the open access era will still benefit only the large power users. as EPIRA envisioned it
