We have been avid participants for over 3 years now and we are super nazis about unplugging everything during ALL ohm hours. We have smart plugs (fridge) plus all smart thermostats. Look at our account, look at our record, look at our streaks (93 was the highest) look at our (used to be) platinum rank. All of a sudden we are going waaaaay over our forecasted amounts. 2 out of 3 of those days, I am 110% positive that nobody was home and everything was unplugged (we literally unplug everything in our home because we keep our breaker box locked) and shut everything off. Yet we are back down to a 0 streak again. First time we had an 86 streak and barely missed an ohm hour and had to restart again. It’s super discouraging and we’ve made a lot of our money by referrals, but now it makes us not want to encourage others to sign up. My husband almost feels like this program is rigged. We also have solar and we have checked and it’s up and running perfectly. Any issues with SCE reporting incorrect usage? I’ve already checked SCE and the numbers match to Ohm, but it’s just not possible that we have failed 3 ohm hours in a row!

We shut off the breakers to the entire house and that's a guarantee that you get 100% participation!! I don't even mess with unplugging, I shut off the ac and shut it all down.

@Shauna Glicker I'm not exactly sure how solar works...and after 3 years you are definitely OhmHour Veterans...but I can confirm that SCE had been sending incorrect data to ohm at least on my brother's behalf as they were ESTIMATING his usage the Entire Month of July...so the usage I would see on his sce account was the same usage I would see on his ohm account...(and yes it caused him to go over) and sce just chalked it up to their in the middle of upgrading their system...it did eventually fix all but two of his ohm hours...and he is new so his streak was not a major concern...But I too have been a member for 3 years and I get it...the only thing I can say is double check the your sce data is actual data and not estimated data...aslo it does suck to loose your streak but streak bonuses are capped at 20 or 100% bonus now and as we are heading in the the fall payouts won't be has high anyway and there will be time to build you streak back up...I really hope you continue with the program and continue to share the program...you know what it has done for your family and what it can do for others...So I hope you will continue...
