Look at your current t bill and find the PRIOR, CURRENT, and KWH USED numbers. Calculate:
KWH USED - (CURRENT - PRIOR). = OTHER METER
OTHER METER is the amount of power they say you used before the meter was swapped out.
Now look at your last bill and find CURRENT. Calculate:
OTHER METER + CURRENT = FINAL READING
FINAL READING is the number they say was on your old meter before it was removed. If you can get the picture they took when they removed it then you could verify that the reading was correct.
Another calculation you could do involves DAYS SERVICE.
For the new bill calculate (CURRENT - PRIOR)/DAYS SERVICE
From the last bill calculate KWH USED / DAYS SERVICE
These numbers give your KWH USED per day with the new and old meters. If the weather was the same and you were home the whole time then the numbers should be quite close. For me, since cooler weather has moved in and I was gone for a week my current usage is about 13% lower than it was last month.
