Some of you may know that I have had a bevy of electrical problems at my house recently. These problems have cost thousands in replacement applainces and such... the dishwasher alone went out twice and once dumped 100's of gallons of water into the basement destroying sheetrock and papers in Yopu's office down there...
Today, I had SMUD our local provider out here to check the electrical system because I thought this could be power spikes and such... Some of you who have been here know that I live on 2 acres in the middle of the city up 100 yards off the road and a good deal of my property is wooded and wild. Out in the woods they discovered that my ground cable had been severed by a tree. No wonder... Anyway, this destroyed my chance to go to WCR as I have been cleaning up and replacing appliances... I haven't checked but I suspect SMUD isnt responsible for my applainces and DVD players and such... It's only money I guess... |

Typically a power company is responsible for the line up to the meter. Where is the meter?

QUOTE(PRS914-6 @ Jul 15 2008, 02:42 PM)  Typically a power company is responsible for the line up to the meter. Where is the meter? Meter is on the back of the house. Street side, my house faces away from the street. You'd think right? But the guy made a special point of telling me that they were only responsible for the high tension cable not the ground and that they were doing me a "favor" by removing the offending limbs and reconnecting the ground with a jumper... I think he was trying to head off some kind of liability for all the damage that has been caused inside the house. Let me tick off what is destroyed, Washer, dryer, dishwasher, Tivo box, 3 DVD players, Bose Wave Radio, programmable thermostat, Heat/AC electronics, probably the CD player in the stereo but I seldom use that... One desktop computer $400 in sheetrock repair to rescrew two sheets in the basement ceiling and retape and texture. I have to check just what their limit of liability is... Possibly my homeowners insurance but I have to check that too... |
