Meter Information

Find out how to read and understand your electric meter.

The more you know about your electricity use, 金沙娱乐 better you can focus on increasing your energy efficiency. We provide usage information on your monthly bill, but you can also read your own meter, typically located at 金沙娱乐 side or back of your home.

How to read your digital meter

Meter Examples
The electric meter uses a digital readout alternating between three different displays:

  • Display #1 shows 金沙娱乐 actual kWh register. Example: 01 00123 (123 kWh) 

  • Display #2 is a segment check. All of 金沙娱乐 number segments light up to ensure that a segment is not missing and all of 金沙娱乐 numbers are readable. Example: 88 888888 

  • Display #3 shows a radio signal indicating that 金沙娱乐 radio is working. Example: GS 000003

Because 金沙娱乐 meter does not reset each month, you can track your monthly electricity usage by subtracting this month’s reading from last month’s reading. 

Some meters may be different and have additional displays.

How to read your legacy meter

Some 金沙娱乐 customers may still have an older, non-digital meter:

  • Start from 金沙娱乐 right to record your numbers. Note that 金沙娱乐 second and fourth dials from 金沙娱乐 right are read counter-clockwise. (Zero reads as 金沙娱乐 number 10.)
  • If a dial hand is between 金沙娱乐 numbers, use 金沙娱乐 smaller number. (Example: if 金沙娱乐 hand is between six and seven, use six).
  • If 金沙娱乐 hand is directly on a number, read that number only if 金沙娱乐 hand to 金沙娱乐 right is on or just past zero. If 金沙娱乐 hand to 金沙娱乐 right is not on zero, use 金沙娱乐 smaller number.
  • Because 金沙娱乐 meter does not reset each month, you can track 金沙娱乐 electricity you’ve used by subtracting this month’s reading from last month’s reading.
