Just a heads up if your having a solar system installed.

The cost of having the power meter replaced with a new meter varies wildly. I was recently asked to sign a form authorizing the replacement of my meter which stated I would pay within 30 days or via credit card on the spot. Problem was the cost of the meter and total installation cost was blank. I challenged this and asked what was the cost to be told by the installer he did not know but the installation paper work could not be finalized without a new meter.

Anyway I recalled a friend having one installed for $220.00 so I called him and spoke to the company he used to do the swap they quoted $330.00. I then called AGL the supply company and was told they could do it for $109.00 all up and added to the next bill.

I do not know what the cost of the original install paper work would have been but I am guessing a lot more than $109.00
