Have you ever wished you had a way to check your energy usage before your bill arrives?
For many households, energy use can change throughout the month due to weather, seasonal activities and daily routines. Without visibility into that usage, it can be difficult to anticipate costs or adjust before your bill arrives.[1]
That’s where MyMeter can help. Available to all PSE&G electric customers with a smart meter, MyMeter gives you a clearer picture of how your household uses electricity. Combined with Energy Bill Watch alerts, MyMeter helps you stay informed throughout your billing cycle so you can plan ahead and make informed decisions about your electricity use.
What is MyMeter?
MyMeter is a free online portal available to PSE&G electric customers with smart meters.
Smart meters securely send near real-time electric usage information to PSE&G through our Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) network, giving you access to more timely information about your home’s electricity use through MyMeter.
How can MyMeter help you manage your energy costs?
One of MyMeter’s biggest benefits is visibility. Seeing how much electricity you’re using — and when you’re using it — can help you better understand your household’s electricity use and make informed decisions.
With MyMeter, you can:
- Track electricity usage throughout your billing cycle
- Identify changes in usage patterns
- Receive alerts when usage reaches a level you choose
- View trends by day, week or month
- Find opportunities to use electricity more efficiently
For example, if you notice your electricity use increases during a stretch of hot weather, you may decide to adjust your thermostat, wait until later in the day to run major appliances or identify equipment that’s using more electricity than expected. Small changes like these can add up over the course of your billing cycle and help you better understand what’s driving your electricity use.
How does MyMeter put you in control?
MyMeter allows you to view electric usage in intervals ranging from 15 minutes to monthly summaries.
This level of detail can help you understand how everyday activities, weather conditions and household routines affect your electricity use. Instead of waiting until your bill arrives, you can monitor usage throughout your billing cycle and adjust when needed.
You can also create personalized usage thresholds and receive notifications by email or text message when your usage exceeds the level you’ve selected.
What can MyMeter tell you about your energy use?
MyMeter provides a detailed picture of your home’s electricity usage.
You can:
- Compare usage over time
- Download your electric usage data
- Receive weekly usage summaries
- Access personalized energy-saving tips
- Get a Home Energy Snapshot
- Use a built-in rate comparator tool
These insights can help you better understand how your household uses electricity and identify opportunities to save energy and money.
What are Energy Bill Watch alerts?
Another tool that can help you manage your energy use is Energy Bill Watch. These alerts provide updates on your electricity use and estimated costs between bills.
Residential electric customers with smart meters are automatically enrolled to receive these email updates after the 10th and 20th days of their billing cycle.
Customers can also choose to receive alerts by text message through the Alerts section of MyMeter.
