You can monitor your energy usage on a daily basis by reading your meter. Just follow these simple steps:

Step	Action
1	Most meters have five dials, though some may have just four. Usually, three of the dials turn clockwise and two turn counterclockwise.
2	Read the dials from right to left to get your total correct reading: If the dial pointer is between two numbers, write down the lower of the two. If the dial pointer appears to be exactly on the number, look back at the dial to the right. If the pointer on that dial has not passed zero, the reading on the dial to the left is the lower number.
3	To calculate your monthly electrical usage, read the meter at the beginning of the month and again exactly one month later. The amount of electricity (or kilowatt-hours) used is the difference between the two readings.
