you signed up for that. i was thinking aobut it but i thought the deal was (atleast as explained to me for balt city) - they come in and install at no charge a blocker on your AC unit so that it cant be lowered under something like 82 degrees for the summer months. during emergencies, you can lower your AC. for the 1st summer you get 100 bucks credit. for the 2nd summer you get 50 then the 3rd you get 25 bucks.

is this how it was explained to you?

ona side note BGE is telling me they need to come in and change my gas meter battery. i call and they say the technician will be in my area for these 2 certain days next month. (its baltimore, not some remote village but i digress). so i say ok, what time slots are available. she says oh no, you pick the day (from the 2 days in the next month) and then he will be there from 8-5. i tell her i cant take off a full day of work to wait on the BGE guy to change a battery. sighhhh
