There are many examples of power surges occurring causing fires, damaging appliances, etc. after smeters have been installed, but not occurring when the home has an analog. If anyone notices any similar electrical events, e.g. lights flickering or fridges cycling on and off, call BC Hydro / FortisBC immediately.
