Utilities & Mobile Addressing NORECO/Electrical Issues

@Jack Peterson What do you suspect will get accomplished for the 3rd meeting?

 

Who knows? but after my Chat to the GM's executive assistant that deals with this ( Today) she is Now aware from what Dustin has done that there can be a Tie in with Twitter ( and that comes from Talking to them) She tells me that many including Robinsons, Lee group, Cangs and other large Consumers have asked for what we are asking and they have all been told FB is what the Board decided and until such time as anything else Happens nothing will change As to what else gets accomplished I know not until it happens but that is life EH?

 

Found the Notice for the 20th/21st for those on mobiles who cannot read the picture notices;

All works may be finished ahead of time and power may be restored earlier than scheduled, so please consider the lines always energized. Member-customer-owners in the affected areas are advised to take the necessary precautions.

NORECO II apologizes for this inconvenience.

 

I am getting ready to move into a newly built unit in Valencia. I need to set up electrical service. Where do I start? Practical answers appreciated; NORECO rants, not so much. Oh, I did purchase an appropriate meter from Polaris already.

 

First step is to take your meter to NORECO, they need to calibrate it before getting it installed.

 

Ok, thanks! Two first steps for the price of one! LOL!

It mystifies me that the person at Polaris who sold me the meter didn't mention where it had to go to be calibrated.

I'm sure the Habitation Permit exists, but where it is to be found have yet to discover.

Can I be asking far too much of NORECO that the location to present the permit and apply is the same location where they will calibrate the meter? And, if by some miracle it is the same, is that location at the NORECO place in the Landbank Building in Dumaguete central? (I would drive to the plant in Palinpinon if they could do all of there. I suspect I could find parking in Palinpinon....not much of a chance in Dumaguete.)

 

I don't know about Dumaguete, but NORECO in Tanjay calibrated the meter and told me where I had to install it (convenient for them not where I would have wanted it). Since you are moving into something already built, I would assume the meter box and service has already been installed and you just need the meter calibrated and then popped in.

Habitation permit was accomplished at one of the government offices...can't remember if we had to present that to get the meter calibrated as the wife handled all dealings with the city; I only discussed the service with NORECO. It wasn't that painful of a process...it did take over a week to get the meter calibrated if I remember correctly.
