Why Smart Electricity Meters Have Become Mainstream
In recent years, electric meters have been replaced on a large scale in most places, and many residents have asked the same question: the old electric meters are not broken, why should they be replaced by smart power meters? Some consumers reported that their home has replaced smart meters, but the electricity bill has risen a lot. Do smart power meters run faster than mechanical watches? It can be seen that there is still relatively little understanding of smart meters.
Many consumers are still not used to the replacement of mechanical meters with smart power meters, but smart meters do bring a lot of convenience to our lives. Mechanical meters are volume-controlled and display electricity consumption. Smart meters are cost-controlled and display the number of electricity bills. After the peak-valley electricity price and the step electricity price are implemented in the future, the electricity meter will automatically deduct the cost according to the electricity price at different times. If the balance in the user's electricity purchase card is not used up, the price department adjusts the electricity price, and the smart meter will make the corresponding price adjustment immediately, which is convenient for the user's electricity bill to settle in real-time.
After the electricity meter is replaced, residents will not need to insert the IC card to purchase electricity but will automatically recharge after purchasing electricity. As long as they go to the business hall to report the address and pay the money, the power supply company will remotely input the purchased degrees into the electricity meter. The employees of the power supply company can monitor the electricity consumption information and working status of the connected meter through the computer remote collection system. While changing the traditional way of checking electricity bills, it also eliminates illegal acts such as stealing electricity from electricity meters.
Smart electricity meters are more sensitive than traditional old meters and can measure the power consumption of electrical appliances when they are on standby. This is also an important reason mentioned by many families that they feel that the electricity bill has increased after changing the meter. The staff of the power supply department said that they hope that users will not have any concerns about the newly replaced electric meters. The smart power meters are purchased by the State Grid Corporation through unified bidding, and the measurement and supervision departments of various cities and regions are checked at various levels, so the quality can be fully guaranteed. If consumers have any objection to the electric energy meter installed by the power supply department, they can ask the relevant measurement unit for verification.
Today's smart power meters are very smart and can implement a pre-payment system that collects electricity bills before using them, which solves the problem of arrears of water and electricity bills for the management side. For those who do not pay the rent overdue, the management can set up intelligent power off and lock it in the background, which effectively eliminates the problem of difficult rent collection. It is suitable for efficient and convenient management of families, public rental housing, short-term rental housing, community public places, office areas, hotels and other commercial areas, schools, factories, governments, etc.
