What does the alarm amount on the electricity meter mean?

The alarm amount on the meter list is the current balance displayed by the smart meter. When the power is almost used up, in addition to the SMS reminder, when the remaining amount in the meter is less than 100 yuan, the screen backlight will automatically light up, and the alarm red light will always light up, prompting you to buy electricity as soon as possible.

Old-fashioned meters need to be plugged in after purchasing electricity, while smart meters can automatically generate electricity for meters after purchasing electricity, which saves the trouble of plugging in cards for charging. I used to go to the business hall to buy electricity when the old electric meter was out of power. Smart meters can buy electricity directly from online banking and Alipay, and the electricity fee can be directly transferred to the meter after payment, which is time-saving and convenient.

In the past, the old-fashioned electric meter could buy at most 2000 kWh at a time, and the electricity in the electric meter must be less than 200 kWh when it is plugged into the electric meter for the second time. Smart meters can only buy electricity once a day, but there is no limit to the number of times. In the past, the display screen of the old electric meter only showed the remaining power, and there was no prompt when the power was running out. Residents often cut off power without knowing it.

In addition to logging on to the interactive website of 95598 (bj.95598.cn) or calling the service hotline of 95598 to inquire about the information of users' electricity consumption and remaining power, the smart meter has specially opened a free SMS reminder service, so that citizens can know the electricity storage situation of the meter in real time. Residents can call the 24-hour power service hotline 95598 to apply for SMS service;

When registering, you only need to provide information such as customer number, smart meter number and mobile phone number to the hotline attendant, and you can also apply for SMS reminder service at the business window of Beijing Electric Power Company, which has electricity sales business. There are also balance early warning service and ladder electricity price jump prompt service, which are very useful.
