How to Cut Your Electricity Bill: YASNO Recommends a Two-Rate Meter

Guidance on Selecting an Electricity Meter

According to ХВИЛЯ: Energy supplier YASNO has issued advice on choosing and installing a new electricity meter to help consumers save on utility bills. The company specifically advises selecting a two-zone meter, which calculates consumption using two different rates: 4.32 UAH/kWh during the day and 2.16 UAH/kWh at night. This can lead to significant savings, especially for households that can shift some of their high-energy activities to nighttime hours. For context, many utility providers worldwide offer similar time-of-use rates to encourage off-peak consumption and manage grid load.

Benefits of a Two-Rate Meter

YASNO offers ready-made meter kits that support dual-rate accounting and can automatically transmit data. Before purchasing, consumers need to check their home electrical network configuration, as a single-phase meter is designed for a 230 V network, while a three-phase meter is for a 380 V network. Ensuring compatibility is crucial for the new equipment to function correctly.

Additionally, YASNO provides:

• free delivery;
• full installation service;
• an option to pay in installments;
• discounts through the YASNOLOV program.

It is also important to decide in advance if the automatic monthly reading transmission feature is needed, as this can simplify consumption monitoring. As the experts state,

“choose a two-zone meter from the start”

, as this will help reduce electricity costs.

With rising electricity tariffs, YASNO's recommendations are particularly relevant for consumers looking to optimize their expenses. Opting for a two-rate meter opens up opportunities for savings, especially for those who can adapt their usage to the cheaper nighttime rate. This highlights the importance of a proactive approach to managing household energy costs.
