How do I read my BC Hydro meter?

Reading your BC Hydro meter is a simple process once you understand the type of meter you have. There are two common types of meters: analog and digital. If you have an analog meter, it will feature a series of dials. To read it, focus on the dials from left to right. Each dial represents a different digit in the total kilowatt-hour usage. You should take note of the number that the hand is pointing to. If the hand is between two numbers, record the lower number. For instance, if the hand is between 3 and 4, you would record 3. If a hand is directly on a number and the next hand has just passed, you would also consider the next lower number for the total reading. For digital meters, readings are usually straightforward. Simply read the numbers displayed on the screen, which will show the total kilowatt-hours used. Some digital meters may also provide additional information, such as voltage or current, but those details are generally secondary to the total consumption figure. If you are unsure about specific details or have trouble interpreting your meter, it may be helpful to refer to the current BC Hydro customer service page on their website for more detailed information and resources.
