I love humor too. Like today I got a emergency service call to go to a locals house, when I got there he was complaining that he had no power. So, I went to the pannel, every thing was good until I figured out that his power got turned off because he didnt pay his bill. So now, he gets $120 for a emergency service call fee + $50 for wakeing me up at 2 AM.

"If meter goes slower...are you paying less?"

If your meter slows down, and no one mentions it on MySpace, Twitter, Facebook or YouTube, does the meter exist?

More importantly is what power company shuts you off at 2 in the morning.

I was just agreeing with you. They, most probably, would not shut someone off at that time of night.

I am not a contractor. He kept calling the phone service, and none of our electricans answered, So they called me. I normally wouldent of went, and the guy's electric wasent turned off at 2 am, but a couple of days earlier he was on vacation for week and his flight landed 12 AM called at 1 Am, got paged at 1:34 am, got there at 2 AM. So, I wanted to go back asleep so I didnt make a fuss about the price.

Yesterday, I had a conversation with the lead electrical supervisor at a six-flags operation. He said that he installed one on an older ride installation. Originally, the current draw was approximately 95 amps... and was reduced to about 40 amps with the device installed. Six Flags didn't believe him either. I am satisfied. Anyone who says that AMPS has nothing to do with power consumption went to the wrong school.

You are a great example of someone who see and reads things but does not comprehend them.
