For The Sake Of Security, PLN Reminds You Should Do This

PT PLN (Persero) urges customers to carry out various considerations such as checking electrical installations at home to avoid the danger of electrical short circuits and fires.

General Manager of PLN Main Distribution Unit (UID) Jakarta Raya, Lasiran explained that before buying or renting a house, you should take various considerations regarding electricity matters because almost all house activities require electrical energy.

According to Lasiran, the first tip for people who will buy or rent a house is to make sure electricity flows legally and is free from theft.

"This can be checked by looking at the cable flowing into the house, making sure the cable from the electric pole flows into the kWh meter. There are no other suspicious cables, either from the direct power pole or from the surrounding neighbors," he explained in his official statement, Sunday, January 14, 2024.

Lasiran conveyed the second tip, make sure the kWh meter is sealed. As for the installed kWh meter seal to avoid kWh meter not being easily tampered with by irresponsible people. So that the electricity that flows into the house is safe and does not endanger the occupants of the house later.

Furthermore, Lasiran said that the community could ask PLN for help to check. To check kWh meter, you can contact PLN through PLN Mobile or contact center PLN 123 so that prospective residents feel safer," he explained.

Tips Furthermore, if the kWh meter is postpaid, make sure the electricity bill has been paid. Prospective residents of the house can check whether the house still has bills that have not been paid by entering the customer ID in the PLN Mobile payment menu application.

"If there are still electricity bills that have not been paid, prospective residents of the house can convey to the previous occupants of the house so that conflicts do not arise in the future," he said.
