Type of a scam Home Improvement
A guy knocked on my door said he was here to check my electric meter.
I asked why? He said
That we had the meter upgraded to the remote transmission 3 yrs ago and that the law says we ( the homeowner) must now provide 50% of the power or we will get in trouble. I asked are you with Southern California Edison. He said that he is here for them. And that he needs to check the meter to see if I qualify for a discount to receive help in complying with the new law. I asked again are you with sce, he ignored the question. I asked if he was here to sell something? He said no, just here to see if I qualify for discount to comply with new law. I again asked was he with sce. No response. So I asked to see the badge he had, which was backwards. He flipped it around and it said vivint solar.
He was using scare tactics, lies, and full on mis represented what he was there for. Which is to sell solar. There is No Law requiring 50% for old homes. However there is a law that all New built homes must have solar. And that doesn’t happen till 2020. In CA. I would never use a solar company that sends out someone to prey on folks. With lies.
