Electrical metering is a service installation that allows you to more effectively manage your power consumption. Ensuring you can budget and bill correctly, when dealing with property management especially, this is a more accurate way of staying updated on your home consumption and costs. There are a number of systems and units available, but the base reasoning for all is the same. Read on to see what it’s all about.
The Service Defined
An electric meter is a modern device that accurately measures the amount of power consumed by a building, tenant space, equipment, and more. Electric utilities and providers make use of these systems at customers’ premises to measure how much electricity being delivered to ensure accurate and reliable billing. They are typically set up to translate amounts into billing units, the most common one being the kilowatt hour. This can be used to measure the demand on power by the household or building, as well as the maximum use of power within a time frame. “Time of day” meter designs allow electric rates to be changed during a day, as well as to record usage during peak, high-cost periods and off-peak, lower-cost periods.
The Importance Of It
Most electric meters installed are analog meters, which display units intended to be read visually rather than through a purely digital system. However, in recent times the designs have begun to incorporate more hi-tech features like cloud-connected energy tracking. This trend is helping to achieve better operational performance in buildings with much higher capacities and usage points. By monitoring the energy use of buildings, equipment and tenant spaces in real time, operators quickly take note of any issues, over usage or surges that may be occurring within the system. Not only that, but when it comes to maximizing energy efficiency, meter systems that track usage in real time provide relevant and meaningful insight into a building’s functions and needs.
