How much will my electric bill increase as a result of having the new type of meter?
As long as the meter is functioning properly, your usage and your charges are not affected by the type of meter you have. The smart meters have been tested in many environments, and all tests show accurate readings of real time energy usage. You may experience an increase in your bill for valid reasons such as heating and cooling spikes, regulatory rate changes or your purchase of additional electronic equipment, such as a large-screen television.
