electric meters
Kilowatt-hour trackers
Electric meters are devices that measure electrical energy consumption, typically installed where power enters a building.
The traditional type has a spinning disk visible through glass; digital smart meters now allow remote reading and real-time monitoring.
Utility companies use meter readings to calculate bills: The electric meter showed we'd used 800 kilowatt-hours this month.
