What Is Smart Electricity Meter?
The guys were super nice, I loved that they did the work immediately. Also after having a discussion with them about the static electricity from a lightenimg strike we had and it fried everything they suggested a surge protector to keep that from happening again. So we did that.
Scheduled an appointment with Mr Electric of Fort Worth and received a call they were able to show up early and had Dylan show up on time stocked with a full truck. He was able to diagnosis the issue quickly and restore my power to a few plugs that were causing the breakers to trip continuously. Dylan was very knowledgable, clearly explained the cause and how he would fix the issue, and addressed all concerns that we had. He was replaced two breakers and installed 2 new outlets along with diagnosing the problem in about an hour. Very quick and so far seems to have resolved our electrical issue. Would definitely recommend Mr Electric of Fort Worth!
Dylan was so nice and always on time. Very qualified and explained everything he needed to do in a way I understood. My older house required an outside panel so I had a lot of work but Dylan and his helper worked together very well and finished on time so I was not out of power more than needed. Everything looked and worked great when done. I don't know how he was able to replace the cracked power pole and wiring on my roof so quickly and beautifully. I am very, very impressed with his skill level and would request him for any future work. The company is very well organized and office contact was a pleasure to work with(which is rare since these positions are usually underpaid)so reward her well, she is the "door" to your organization. She and Dylan sealed my deal!
Cody was professional, knowledgeable, and was able to provide me with a quick diagnosis pertaining to a wiring issue in one of my rooms. He gave me the price for the repair/modification and fixed the issue all in less than an hour. Thanks Cody!
A smart electric meter utilizes a two-way radio signal that can transmit usage information directly to the local utility company. Rather than relying on physical meter reading to determine your monthly bill, data is provided electronically, giving your electric company more accurate information. If your electric meter was installed or replaced after January 2009, there is a good chance that you already have a smart meter. By 2020, it is estimated that more than 80% of homeowners in America will have upgraded.
Smart Meter Benefits for Property Owners and Electric Companies
Smart meters offer a lot of incentives for both utility providers and home and business owners. First, daily energy use data can be available to both resident and electric company. This can be used to achieve lower monthly bills and to reduce negative environmental impact. Also, analog meters can only be read every other month, due to the limitations of labor and time. So, the utility companies must estimate your usage, which is often wildly inaccurate. Since smart meters provide up to date information, homeowners can save a lot of money long term. Smart meters can also help the utility company quickly locate any power outages, so the problem can be resolved fast, rather than relying on residents to call and report issues individually.
