Learn How to Read Your South Carolina Electric, Natural Gas, or Solar Meter
Energy use is measured in kilowatt hours (kWh). A kilowatt hour is equal to using 1,000 watts of electricity in one hour (or burning a 100-watt bulb for 10 hours). Most meters are read via secure radio frequency by driving or walking near them.
Your meter measures natural gas used in cubic feet. One cubit foot contains approximately 1,000 BTUs of heat – the equivalent of burning 1,000 kitchen matches.
Meters have four or five dials; some with clockwise numbering, others are counter-clockwise. Record the smaller number if the pointer is between two numbers, except between nine and zero.
If the pointer is on a number, look at the dial to the right. If that pointer has not passed zero, record the smaller number.
To find out cubic feet used, take two readings, then subtract the earlier from the more recent.
The main meter measures the power Dominion Energy South Carolina delivers to you, as well as any excess solar power you send back to us.
