Electric Meter Questions
What is a kilowatt-hour?
A kilowatt-hour (kwh) is a unit of electrical energy equal to the energy delivered by the flow of one kilowatt (1,000 watts) of electrical power for one hour. For example, a 100-watt bulb burning for 10 hours will use one kilowatt-hour of energy.
How do I know how much electricity I use?
The amount of electricity you use is measured by your meter. Your meter measures kilowatt-hours continuously the same way your car's odometer measures miles and is read in the same fashion, from left to right.
