FAQs
How does an electricity meter work?
An energy meter tracks your energy consumption in kilowatt-hours (kWh) as it flows from the power grid to your home or business, allowing you to monitor your usage and take control of your energy consumption.
How often should I check my electrical meter?
We recommend checking your electricity meter regularly to measure electrical energy usage. Regular monitoring is especially useful if you want to keep your bills accurate, check for any irregularities or check how a new electrically powered device affects your consumption.
How do I know if my electrical meter needs to be replaced?
An electric meter typically lasts around 10-30 years, but it is recommended you get them replaced every 10-20 years to ensure meter accuracy. Meters nearing the end of their lifespan may not be as reliable as a new meter, especially if there is visible damage to the meter.
Do I need to notify my utility company before I replace my meter?
yes. Utility companies are responsible for getting your electric meters installed and maintained to make sure that billing is accurate and to ensure compliance with regulations and safety standards.
Do electricity meters help to save costs on energy consumption?
While electricity meters don't directly reduce electric energy usage, they do encourage energy conservation by allowing users to see the effects of their consumption patterns. This can potentially help to identify energy wastage and save on energy costs if action is taken to reduce this consumption. Smart meters, especially, encourage users to spot patterns in their behaviour.
