Usage Reports: A Closer Look
With Edison SmartConnect®, you can use My Account to monitor your electricity use and costs with easy-to-read online usage reports that provide valuable insight on how much energy you use and when you use it. You’ll be able to see reports as recent as the previous day’s, so you can adjust your usage before your next bill arrives.
Well Timed: Hourly Intervals
An hourly breakdown of your previous day’s electricity usage is displayed on the first tab of Usage Reports to give you detailed insights into your energy use levels on a given day. You’ll also be able to see your hourly usage average, or roll over to see usage and outside temperature high for a particular hourly interval.
Day by Day: Recent Usage
Want to see how much energy you’re using on a daily basis within your current billing cycle? Visit the “Recent” tab to view a report that breaks down your usage from the beginning of your bill cycle through the previous day. You’ll also see your bill-to-date costs, your projected next bill total, and whether you’re expected to be over or under your Budget Assistant spending goal.
Monthly Trends: Compare Your Usage
Want to see how your energy use is trending from one month to the next or even year to year? Click on the “Monthly Trends” tab for a comparison by month, and roll over any month for more detail. To view any month in detail, you can visit the “Billed Months” tab and see a daily breakdown of your electricity use during any billing cycle in the last 12 (starting when the smart meter was enabled) or how the current month compares to same timeframe in the last two years.
Temperature Control
Usage reports also offer insights into the connection between the local outside high temperature and your energy use. Roll over a given month or day on a report to see that day’s high temperature; a better understanding of how the weather outside is driving your electricity usage in the home can be a valuable planning tool for staying on budget throughout the seasons.
