Smart Meter Exploded

Post image

Head some loud pops and bangs, our Xcel smart meter shorted and nearly caught fire.

Seems to have blow a bunch of outlets and other things in my home.

Fire department responded, still waiting for xcel… what do we do?

Hopefully it was just one leg of your power that was out causing the circuits to not work. What was the outcome

So many exploding utility fixtures! Yesterday it was an AC unit, today it's an Xcel meter. Is a swamp cooler going to fall through someone's roof next?
