Something I hadn't thought of, does anyone remember the thread up here about a year ago about the energy efficent experiment house? It is possible that these meters were all installed so that the homeowner/whatever could keep a close watch on what devices were using how much electricity. If you look closely, some of those little 2-space panels off the meters only have one breaker.

Just a thought.

I believe they are customer owned meters.

Each meter is for a seperate motel room.


Thanks.

Why do you think they would want seperate meters for each room? Do you get charged based on how many lights you have on? That seems a little odd to me.
