Odd my Smart meter has no such bars under the 01.
I am concerned over usage because i have been conserving energy like mad the last 5-6 months and my kwh usage has not changed in my favor from last years readings with the previous wheel meter.
I did not use air conditioning this year despite it being a hot summer, i used a $20 box fan in the attic hatch instead, it uses 50 watts my air conditioner uses 500 watts.
Also i turned my hot water tank to a usable temperature with out the need of adding cold water. The only change is my bill saying i have used more energy not less than last year. I stopped using my power hungry 4 core video card filled desktop pc in favor of my 2 core laptop hooked up to the same 40" lcd monitor.
So far my bills have showed a slightly higher kwh with my conservation efforts.
Bull-dung ! i say haha.
Styder i recommend you check ebay.ca out for watt meters, i bought mine there for $50 delivered, with signature at the door.
