Exel can do all they want around and outside my house but comin inside for any reason at all ain't happenin unless they come back with the narcotics task force...especailly since exel keeps tellin me over and over they are not responsible for anything past my meter, not even the interior sub panel is their responsiblity, according to them, so why would i let them in to root around my house when i can not even pay them to come in and do work inside otherwise, I have to call an electrician...can't have it both ways you exel jag offs.. if you had an electrical fire inside your house or any electrical problems in your house, exel will not even come inside at all, they really don't even like to come on your actual property, their montra is you need to call an electrician, thats not our responsibility, we go to the meter....
Now there is a rule on how much power you can use? that will make alot of since in court....I've had $2600 electric bills, so what, there is no law against power use. By years end I will have three 200amp service poles on my property and exel is all to happy to come and do it for me, for a pile of money and a killer monthly bill paid to them goin forward
What if they question or "audit" you and you say, I have 8 horticulture lights burning in my basement, now what? what are they goin to do? the electric company can not do anything at all except notify the police that your using alot of power and that may mean that your growing in your basement?huh? and so what, the police will laugh..if the cops come, they ask you if you have a grow, have your medical card, check your paperwork, possibley check your grow, and leave, thats it..what are they goin to say, we got a complaint from the power company that your using to much electricity..lol...not likey.
The police are so worried about potiental law suits from med patients claiming harrassment it's not even funny and high power use is no indication of illegal activity in this state. That doesn't represent probable cause at all and so what if it did...I've had the task force guys hangin out at two of my setups for hours and hours and excessive power use was not on their plate, trust me..
I could see these tactic and methods being effective in flushing out potiental illegal growers in non med states but in a med state there is no crime so what the hell are they doing except possibly shake down non med patients.
Here is my script if exel calls...
exel: we want to audit your power usage..
TK: Why?
exel: we show abnormally high use at your location.
TK: I have alot of high power use equipment in use on my property, I mean really, I have 600amps total coming to the property, I have workshops, greenhouses, a/c's , you name it, I have it going.
exel: we'd like to come out and audit your setup to see if we can save you any money..
TK: No thanks....that wont be neccesary but you can come check the connection from the pole to the meter if you like or install a new meter that would be fine. Bu bye
All they can can do is come check thier service from the pole to the meter which is part of their gig but beyond that, they have no right to anything...they are a public utility company thats it, they are not police and do not have any legal right to access to your house and they are the first to tell ya that when you really need them.
