According to an email sent out to NYSEG users, there will be several positives with the new smart readers.

Smart meter upgrades will provide more convenience, control, and understanding and managing energy use. There will be less need for on-site visits and in-person readings. Customers will no longer have to send in their readings as well.

The new smart meters will also allow for automatic alerts when your home loses power.

NYSEG will be holding an open house in West Seneca for people who have questions about the new smart meters.
