Complaint / Review
Long Island Power Authority
Faulty Mete

In January, I got a LIPA bill for $871 for the November-December billing period this was double what my bill for the same period the previous year (in the previous year I was Running Several Heaters So how i can get a double Bill when I am running Only 1 During this period i don't know!).

The previous billing periods bill was 370 which is about right for my house. I called to complain several times and demand my meter was checked. LIPA finally agreed after many aggravated calls and told me that within 30 Days of them coming to inspect the meter i would receive a certified letter detailing any problems with the meter. And with an adjusted bill if adjustments are needed. I never received the certified letter. When they came to check my meter they changed it out. This was in the middle of a billing cycle and my bill Immediately dropped by over $300. All following bills have returned to reasonable amounts even after installing several additional appliances. I have yet to receive a large bill.

In reality, the new meter is showing my actual usage as lower than the previous years usage for the same billing period. Which leaves me no other conclusion than the meter was faulty and that the reason i never received the certified letter was that they did not want to admit to it in writing.in the past 9 Months i have spoken with numerous LIPA technicians who have all verified that LIPA will never authorize a meter to be changed if it is not faulty. I refuse to pay the near $900 bill from the billing period BEFORE they changed the meter. I have called and emailed several times they claim that the bill is accurate but still have yet to send me the certified Letter and now are threatening to cut me off. I see little i can do other than take them to court.
