Questions & Answers
Tell me about Free weekends ?
I am confused on your facts label for the Twelve Hour Power 12 , could you give me the example on your calculation for 1500kWh and 3500kWh usage?
How do I know that I can get a Smart meter installed for my apartment? Is this up to my apartment manager? Its an older community built in 1984. Would the wiring etc handle a Smart meter.
The price for different usage amount per kWh varies. As long as we use up to 2000kwh, the price will down to 11.8cents. So I am wondering the amount that we use between free hours 9:00 p.m. to 9:00 a.m. counted into the total volume? Thank you
