FortisBC gas meter exchange

TurboDoe

請問有冇人最近收到信要求換gas meter？我發覺BC Utilities Commission 仲未approve FortisBC 個 AMI project (ie. smart meter) 喎！加果換著各老友記，你哋會點做？請指教！

Quest

researched FortisBC site and I'm not aware of any gas meter replacement/exchange program.

Unless there's something wrong with your current gas meter (which calls for replacement), your best bet is to give them a call and find out why.

Hi and thx for ur reply. 封信話要'comply with Measurement Canada's meter exchange requirements' 喎！google 過 Mesaurement Canada 個 website, 冇乜發現！請各位指教！

我屋的gas meter就在約6年前換過一次, 沒有什麼特別.
他們來換時, 我問過個tech.
實際上,gas meter每用一段時間, 會有一定的損耗, 讀數開始不準, 他們都會換一個新的.
換出的舊錶會回廠番新, 測量後再用.

Quest

yup! Not a national/provincial wide program but yours most likely a one-off situation where your gas meter needs replacement.

Call to clarify and make an appointment then.

題外話,原來宜家新開account,佢會自動幫你join個equal payment plan,佢估計你每年用幾多amount,除每個月俾，eg.佢估你(I guess they use how big of the hse....I really dont know they base on what coz I just move in)每年用around $1000,你每個月就俾$83.xx,我收到張單好wonder,點解咁貴嘅？因為我只有stove use gas.....so if you open new acct, you better think which way is good for you lor!

實際'聰明' 又有乜要驚??
我夠換咗'聰明'電錶, 冇問題喎. 冇話比多咗錢.

Thx for all ur inputs! 啱啱打咗去FortisBC, staff 話唔

Staff said this gas meter exchange has nothing to do with the smart meter program. Technican will replace the existing meter with a 'new' one of the same/similar model. He also said every year, FortisBC has to replace 100,000 gas meters by law and mine is just one of them.
