Meter Readings Explained

  1. Top Row (LOW/NIGHT):

    • This row indicates the number of units of electricity you have used during off-peak hours. Off-peak hours are typically when electricity demand is lower, allowing you to be charged a lower rate.

  2. Bottom Row (NORMAL/DAY):

    • This row shows the number of units of electricity you have consumed during peak hours. These are the hours when electricity demand is higher, and thus, the rates are generally higher.

How to Record Your Meter Readings

When taking your meter readings, make sure to:

  • Write down all the numbers from left to right, including any zeros. This ensures that you have an accurate record of your electricity usage.

By understanding how to read your Economy Meter, you can better manage your electricity usage and potentially save on your bills. If you have any further questions or need assistance, feel free to reach out for help!
