electricity meters

The electric company changed my meter the year before last. They changed it from an analog meter to an electric meter. Half a year later, they changed it again. The 2 previous meters showed both the total usage (kWh) and the current usage. That let me get an indication if the meter was working right, by comparing how many electrical devices I had running, and their wattage, to the current usage displayed. The new meter only shows the total usage. So there's no way of knowing if it is measuring accurately.
