Load limiter or electricity
limiter guide

During the colder winter months electricity will not be disconnected. However a load limiter or electricity limiter will be attached to your meter during those times.

Load limiters or electricity limiters reduce the flow of electricity. The limiter allows your furnace fan and a few lights to run so you can have heat during the winter.

If too much electricity is used, the limiter will shut off electricity completely.
