Not sure. Do you know how you can check that?

The electric company is supposed to come out and do this for you... It's been YEARS, but I went thru this and in fact I was paying for my unit and the wash room 😡

Good to know. I'll see how my bill changes after they switch out my meter and have them come check if needed.

We currently have the old meter from when they had different rates throughout the day and I don't know how to read it and no one at NG seems to know how to read it. After complaining for months when our bill was over 1000 kwh, it suddenly went down by 200ish kwh with no change on our end. So, I'm hoping this new meter will allow me to keep track of our usage and keep NG honest. And if needed, we'll pay the $11/month for the manual meter. I really think it's NG charging us more than we use since we have a house, but our garage is separate so someone could have tapped in somewhere.

We got our new meter yesterday. In 18 hours, we've used 9 kwh. Using that, we should use about 12 kwh per day and 360 every 30 days. Obviously that can fluctuate depending on what we're doing, but that's still less than half of what we were charged for last month.

I think NG was ripping us off with the old meter we had that we didn't know how to read and no one could explain how to read.
