What are the security risks of the electric meter after the warranty period?

The potential safety hazards of electric meters beyond the warranty period include leakage, burning and even explosion.

There are many hidden dangers of "over-aged" household appliances. Because the raw materials of household appliances are mainly steel, plastic, aluminum foil and so on. With the switch-on and switch-off during long-term use, sudden cooling and sudden heating during work, and the erosion of dirt, household appliances that have been in service for an extended period of time will be "sick" and "injured", which will increase the risk of electric leakage, combustion and even explosion and bring great security risks to consumers.

Electric energy service life

Single-phase watt-hour meter (single gem) for measuring domestic electricity consumption shall not exceed 5 years. The electricity meter in the residential area is broken, and the property is responsible for repairing it. If it is supplied by the power supply bureau, it will be replaced free of charge as long as it is not caused by human factors.

If the meter is wrong or damaged in use, the power supply company will replace the new meter for the user free of charge.
