Electric Meters

Electric flow can be measured two different ways, either by a flow meter or electromechanical meter. Both methods are considered accurate methods of measurement

Flow-through meters are less expensive, but introduce additional installation costs. Electric meters are placed on the incoming supply line of a unit’s breaker panel. The data is read remotely by an automated meter reading system “AMR”. Residents are then billed on a per unit basis according to usage. The cost per unit is determined by the local utility.
