Build my utility complaint from my own breaker-panel data

A rural homeowner had the AI mine months of his circuit-level power-monitor readings against his bills and assemble a packet documenting brownouts down to 95V, then help fill out the Board of Public Utilities complaint - JCP&L called back within two days.

How it works

  1. Log circuit-level power data at home for two years
  2. Compare months of meter readings against bills with AI
  3. Assemble a packet documenting brownouts down to 95V
  4. Fill out the BPU complaint form
  5. JCP&L calls back within 2 days

Why it’s worth knowing

His own breaker panel became the star witness: two years of voltage logs turned a he-said/she-said complaint into documented evidence the utility answered in two days.
