Does the property application box cost money?

Property application box is free. According to relevant information, the meters and meter boxes that users can't buy privately are generally installed in users' homes, which are all invited by the power grid company and then entrusted to the winning bidder for unified application. Therefore, the money applied for the electric box property is paid by the winning bidder, and individuals do not need to pay. The accuracy of electric meter measurement is related to the interests of power grid companies and users, so there are strict regulations on the appearance, measurement error, data processing, communication mode and password protection of electric meters. Electricity meters are generally sealed with lead after installation, and users cannot open the cover, disassemble the meter or replace it without authorization. At present, the meters of State Grid Corporation of China have the function of opening the cover, and there will be records every time the cover is opened. If it is found that the user opens the lid privately, all the consequences arising therefrom shall be borne by the user himself.
