How to Turn Off Your Prepaid Meter’s Beeping Sound
If you own a prepaid meter that makes a beeping sound when you’re running low on electricity units, then you have likely heard that discomforting and continuous sound that could keep you up at night if it’s close enough to your apartment. Even though it’s a good way to draw your attention, it can sometimes be annoying, especially when you live in a building with multiple prepaid meters and more than one starts beeping at a time. It also announces to everyone that you’re low on units and haven’t recharged yet. Can you imagine that? Frankly, that could be embarrassing.
