Load/Demand Meter vs Normal?
Ok, I probably will post lots here as I am a new home owner and have tons of questions. When I had the electric switched over they said they house had a load or a demand meter on the house which could save us money but you have to use more electric?
What are the pros and cons on this kind of system? :eek:
OH, so there is a difference between load and demand
Ok, I see, I thought load and demand were the same, oops. When I called she mentioned the house had a demand meter on it, and that I could save money but we had to use a certain amount of electric a period, or month. That not all house were eligible for demand meters, etc.
I think my dad said they had a load meter, and some people say they have never known anyone who saved any money with a demand.
The house is about 2200 sq foot, with AC, Electric Stove and Electric double oven. Of course my girlfriend will have a microwave, and being a computer neard I am using one room for my pc/router switching lab. All my pcs have about 300-400 watt power supplies in them, but only one may be left on all the time. I will have to read what amps my routers and switches draw, those all won't be on all the time either.
