Recently, many households in Lexington have replaced their electricity meters with Eversource ‘s new smart meters .
The new electricity meter doesn’t look much different from the old digital meter. Many people might also ask:
What benefits does a Smart Meter actually bring to an average family like ours?
In fact, one of the biggest changes is that we will be able to understand our home’s electricity usage more conveniently and in more detail in the future.
In the past, we usually had to wait until the end of the month to receive our electricity bill to find out how much electricity we had used. After installing a smart meter, Eversource can obtain more detailed household electricity usage data, and residents can also view this information through their Eversource online account.
