  1. Locate the single stator watt hour meter on the inside or outside of your home. Face the watt hour meter so that you can see the dials.

  2. Write down the numbers that are being highlighted by the indicator arms on each of the individual dials. Write down the far right number first, then the next number, then the next number until you write down all the numbers. If the indicator arm on the dial is pointing directly in between two numbers, write down whichever number has a lower value.

  3. Read the number on your piece of paper. This is the number of watt hours currently being displayed by your single stator watt hour meter.
