Have you heard about a DCC smart meter? We got a smart meter, which is a smart kind of meter that allows us to use energy more sustainably. We can reduce costs on our bills, which is good for our families, and we can also contribute to preserving our planet. Find out more about DCC smart meters and how they can improve the way we use energy!
In the olden days, we read our own meters or had to wait for somebody called a meter reader to visit our houses and do it. It could be a lengthy process, and at times the readings were inaccurate. That would mean getting bills that were little more than estimates based on what had been used previously.” As a result, we could end up spending more than we actually availed of, and that to hit us hard. Yet a revolution is emerging towards the best with DCC smart meters! Smart meters help everyone understand their energy use better, and in turn, use it wisely.
DCC smart meters are awesome as they show us available energy at the moment, providing real-time updates! In this way we can know how much energy we are using at any time. Armed with this knowledge, we can adjust our behaviors, saving energy. So, if we see that we are polluting during the busy hours with a lot of energy consumption (evening because everyone will be at home) then we can shift some activities to other time periods. We could wash the dishes or do laundry during times when energy costs less, at off-peak hours. In this way we save a bit on our bills and contribute to keeping the energy use balanced.
What does DCC do with the energy consumption data? Some of these meters have special features to configure goals — how much energy we want to consume on a daily or weekly basis. We might know, for example, that we want to use less energy this month. The readout will track our progress toward that goal and provide us with helpful tips to cut even more energy use.] So we can learn and develop our habits with time!
DCC smart meters are one of the best things because we will never again receive an estimated bill. Since the meter is always monitoring our energy use, we will receive a bill showing precisely what we actually consumed. This precise billing allows us to manage our spending with a more accurate budget and an absence of surprises when we receive the bill in the mail. We can budget our money better, paying for energy we used exactly.
DCC smart meters empowered us as customers. Maybe, giving us smarter information about our energy use will enable us to make better decisions on finding cost-effective ways to use energy waste. We’re no longer simply waiting around for the utility companies to inform us how much we owe or how much energy we’re consuming. We can take control of our own energy use and make the decisions that are best for our families and our budgets instead!
