Your Electric Service > Your Electric Meter

Sam Houston Electric Cooperative reads your meter each month, using mobile automated meter reading technology. Our meters are fitted with transmitters that send readings to a computer in a truck as it passes by. In the vast majority of cases, we are able to read your meter without coming onto your property.

Your meter can also be a source of information in helping to monitor your electric usage. One of the key ways you can check on the amount of energy you use is to learn how to read your electric meter. Your meter measures how much electricity you use in kilowatt-hours during a given period of time and is the basis for how your electric bill is calculated each month.
