I've read a few articles online about the difference between older meters and satellite meters with the newer equipment being more efficient, but also that there are some nay-sayers who would really rather the electric companies not remotely know expenditures. I can see why people would think either, but after my own experience with the older kind and having some ridiculous fluctuations between monthly payments (meter readings wrong, compensating for it following months, etc.), I'm thinking of swapping to a newer meter just to keep things consistent from month to month. Anyone have any experience switching between the two?
