Soaring Power Bills: What's Going On?

Could a Meter Fault Be to Blame?

Aroostook County, Maine, has witnessed a surge in power bills, leaving residents baffled and concerned. While energy bills typically fluctuate with usage, sudden and significant spikes have raised suspicions about potential issues with power meters or other underlying problems.

WEB Meter, a leading provider of electricity metering services, acknowledges that meter faults are uncommon. However, they suggest that a faulty meter could be a possible cause of unexplained bill increases, particularly if accompanied by unusually high usage readings.

Residents are urged to contact their local utility companies to report any concerns and request meter inspections. It is crucial to address these issues promptly to avoid overpayments and ensure accurate energy billing.
