The MERALCO Complaints Thread


Recommended Posts

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

they dont used electric meter in their station for their own purpose

yet they charge their client for system lost....

 

meralco is provided by the erc to use 1% of the total power they sell to use in their offices, substations, etc. so far, meralco is only using 0.35% of that 1%, a testament to their efficiency.

 

and meralco substations and offices also have electric meters. so that the erc can keep tabs of their actual electric use, and charge them should they exceed the 1% limit in their electricity use

Some may already know this some may don't. For those who don't please read on.

 

If ever you get a disconnection notice from Meralco. You are expected to pay the amount on the day that the disconnections is supposed to be taking place.

 

However, if you missed out on that date then Meralco will only submit a job order to have your line disconnected after 3 days which once the technician receives it is going to be up to him on how soon he can have the line disconnected.

 

Maybe you have around 4 days to make sure you settle the bill before the Meralco guy comes in knocking to cut your power off.

Yeah I noticed this too. Syet, nung bata pa ako, inaabot ng 2-3 buwan ang utang namin sa Meralco bago dumadating yung puputol ng kuryente namin (mahirap lang kasi kami). Tapos kapag dumating pa siya, pwedeng sa kanya mo na lang bayaran yung balanse para di na niya ituloy ang pagputol. :)
