How do I read my electric meter?

Reading your electric meter may vary depending on the type of meter you have. For digital meters, simply read the numbers left to right. For dial meters, read the numbers on each dial starting from the right, ignoring the red dial and any hands that are between numbers. For smart meters, press the display button to cycle through different readings. To calculate your energy usage, subtract the previous reading from the current reading. Remember to keep track of your usage to better manage your energy consumption. If you have any concerns, contact your utility provider for assistance.
