Benefits of a Smart Electricity Meter

Smart electricity meters are becoming more and more popular as electric companies continue to adopt the new technology in their communities. Yet, many property owners are not even aware that their meter has been upgraded. Others may know that they have a smart meter but are not exactly sure what the difference is. At Mr. Electric of Fort Worth, we provide high quality commercial and residential electrical services including energy audits, electrical inspections, wiring upgrades, energy monitor installations, smart home device integrations and so much more. Have you wondered what kind of benefits your smart electricity meter is providing? Here are a few of the most important rewards that property owners enjoy after switching to a smart meter. 

What Makes a Smart Electricity Meter Different? 

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!

Smart meters record the amount of electrical power used throughout your household. Conventional analog meters, which have spinning dials for recording energy usage, must be periodically read by individuals who work for the electric company. Employees will park their car near your residential street, and walk around to each house, writing down the numbers on a form. Since most electric companies have a limited staff and a large number of customers, meter reader’s will only record each individual household every other month. They will estimate the amount of electricity used in the months that your property is skipped. Smart electricity meters use two-way radio signals much like cell phones that transmit information directly to the utility company. This means there is no guess work involved, as the new meters offer more accurate information for monthly billing. 

Four Important Benefits of Smart Meters 

There are many benefits that property owners can enjoy once their utility company has upgraded to smart meters, here are four of the most significant rewards:

More Data – Both property owner and electric company receive detailed information about energy usage, which can help communities learn ways to reduce energy consumption, save money and reduce their carbon footprint. 

Better Accuracy – Since billing is not dependent on the average energy usage of previous month, consumers can enjoy more accurate data and save money long term. 

Cost Savings for the Utility Company – In-person meter reading is much less cost effective. Switching to smart meters can help the electric company reduce their operating expenses, and those savings can be passed on to their customers. 

Power Outage Detection – Utility companies can quickly detect power outages because of the changes in real-time data. This translates into faster resolution of electrical issues for residents and businesses.
