The electric
meter is one of the most
accurate measuring devices
of any kind. Electric meters
are routinely checked for
accuracy. Very seldom is the
meter found to be
inaccurate. Instead of blaming the
electric meter for your
monthly energy usage,
consider your family's
lifestyle and the appliances
in your home. Here is a list
of some common home
appliances and the average
amount of energy that they
use per month. Remember that
electricity is measured by
the kilowatt-hour (kwh),
which is the amount of
electricity required to
operate a 100-watt bulb for
10 hours.
