how to slow down a electric meter.?

Question

so there could be lower electricity bill.

Answer 1

Use less electricity.

Tampering with an electric meter is both illegal and dangerous. You will get caught, you will go to jail.

Answer 2

Oh, that kind of slow down...

All of the new appliances come with an "instant on" feature or they have a clock or some sort of small power drawing component. Added together it makes a difference. But if you have an older refrigerator or an electric clothes dryer; these will draw much more juice than anything else, other than an A/C unit in the summer time. Also everyone is getting bigger and bigger with the television. We all slide the old 32 in to the back room. Well guess what, they draw more watts than the smaller screen T.V.s

Answer 3

The proper way would be to use less electricity. Maybe change some of your incandencent lamps with flourescent lamps. Be more conciencous about turning off lights not in use.

In the summer set your thermostat at a higher temperature.

I've heard a magnetic near the meter can disrupt the field used to operate the meter. But doing something like that is called "Theft by fraud". It would be stealing.

Answer 4

I know a legal and safe way to slow your meter down, don't use as much electricity. Works every time without fail.

Answer 5

Well I cud suggest few techniques legally.
Try to convert all the lightings to energy saving one with less wattage.
Dont keep you refrigerator door open for long.
Try to keep all the doors and windows air tight while air conditioning system is on.

There are few illegal techniques.
1. You could place a magnet near the meter.
2. You could just by-pass the supply going to the meter for few hours a day.
3. you cud reverse the ohase and neutral connections to the meter for few hours a day so that the meter will rotate in opposite direction and your reading will less as per ur load instead of increasing.
But I guarentee you if u follow the illegal techniques then surely u will end up enjoying free accomodation & food in JAIL for atleast a few years.

Answer 6

Answer 7

Keep lights turned out...and don't sue any appliances unless you really need them. Turn the a/c-heater where it rarely come on. use fluorescent light bulbs. Air dry your clothes.....need i go on...or do you get the picture?

You can unplug appliances that you don't use when you are not home like computers, stereos, dvd players etc... which lower your energy use.
