ONE OF YOUR EIGHT HOUSEHOLD TOOLS
Electricity Usage Diary for Meter Readings & Budgets
Regular meter readings help you notice changes in consumption between dates. Keep them in a simple diary and use your chosen unit rate to estimate the cost.
Included in the $5/month and $30/year household plans.
A SIMPLE WAY TO START
How to use electricity usage diary.
- 01
Enter a dated electricity meter reading.
- 02
Set the unit rate and household budget you want to use for estimates.
- 03
Add later readings and compare consumption between the dates you recorded.
Useful details to keep in mind.
- Consumption comes from the difference between readings, rather than an automatic connection to your meter.
- Estimated costs use the rate you enter. Actual bills can include slabs, fixed charges, taxes and other adjustments.
- Reading regularly makes comparisons more useful than logging only when the bill arrives.
BEFORE YOU START
Questions about electricity.
Does HomeDaybook connect to my smart meter or electricity provider?
No. You enter readings manually.
Will its estimate exactly match my electricity bill?
Not necessarily. The estimate uses your entered unit rate; your provider may apply slabs, fixed charges, taxes or other adjustments.
