How can I read my electric meter?

Reading an electric meter can be a useful skill for tracking energy usage. Most electric meters operate in a straightforward manner, and Tucson Electric Power uses both analog and digital meters. For analog meters, the display usually consists of several dials. Begin at the dial on the far right, noting the number it points to. If the hand is between two numbers, always record the lower number. Move left to the next dial, repeating this process. It is important to note that the dials may turn in opposite directions, so pay attention to the movement. After recording all the dials, compile the numbers to get your total reading. For digital meters, the reading will typically display as a single set of numbers on a screen. Simply read the number as it appears; this is your current usage. If you have any additional questions or need more detailed information, consider checking the official Tucson Electric Power website, which may have helpful resources and FAQs regarding meter reading and usage tracking.
