Your meter measures your electricity use. It is read by a Nova Scotia Power meter reader every two months.
To read your meter:
- Read all the dials on the meter, beginning with the dial on the far right. Write the numbers down in the same order, from right to left.
- If the hand on your meter dial is between two numbers, record the lower number. For instance, if the hand on the dial is between the “3” and the “4”, record the “3”. If the hand on the dial is between the “0” and the “9”, record the “9”.
- If your meter dial hand is directly on a number - record that number. If the dial to the right is on, or has just passed, “0”, record the lower number.
To calculate the kilowatt hours used since your last power bill, subtract your reading from the reading shown on your most recent power bill.
