I have a prepaid metre and pay 2k every 2 weeks on just small freezer and 63 inch flatscreen tv. I use pressing iron occasionally and no more appliance. I have just 2 energy saving bulbs outside the house. I have averagely 12 hrs of light daily.

I have got an electrician to check if someone is tapping the electric energy but nothing of such. I have lodged complaint at the PHCN Abuja to not avail.

Worst of all, there is this freaking warning sound it makes just after some days of payment signalling low credit which is always waking my child from sleep. I tried disabling it but could not find how to do that.

Someone should advise me before I take legal action against these people.

I guess it's ur meter type, you will see that on ur receipt maybe you are using more phase or whatever, mine is R2 single phase resident with that 2k without fixed charge i get 143unit used by 3flat with constant light it last us for like almost 2weeks....

Suggestion first check ur meters type it's on ur receipt if it's more that one phase that a part of the reason, and secondly maybe tariff is higher in ABJ than lag , if you use microwave, electric cooker those appliances mentioned use straw to zip your unit

@ op, sorry for passing through this ordeal.

To stop that noise it makes continously that signals your unit is low (from 30 and below), just press any number once on the metre and the noise will cease.


As for the fast depletion of your units, i will say thats how it is programmed.
