Accurate bills start with accurate readings.
Estimated bills are frustrating for everyone. You either end up with a big credit sitting in your supplier’s account or face a hefty bill when the meter finally gets read. Neither is ideal.
To avoid these headaches, submit your meter readings to your supplier at the end of each month. It’s a simple step that saves you a lot of trouble—and ensures you’re only paying for the energy you’ve actually used.
How to Submit Your Meter Readings
There are several ways to submit your meter readings, depending on your energy supplier. The most common methods include:
- Online: Most suppliers offer an online portal where you can easily submit your readings. It’s quick, efficient, and available 24/7.
- Over the phone: If you prefer to speak to someone or don’t have access to the internet, you can call your supplier directly and provide your reading over the phone.
- By text message: Some suppliers allow you to send your readings via text. It’s a convenient, no-fuss option if you’re on the go.
- By post: If you prefer, you can also submit your readings by mail. While this method is the slowest, it’s still an option for those who need it.
Be sure to check with your energy supplier to confirm which methods they support, as this can vary.
Tips for Submitting Accurate Meter Readings
- Submit regularly: Make it a habit to submit your readings once a month. This keeps your bills accurate and avoids surprises down the line.
- Read carefully: When reading your meter, ensure you’re capturing the correct numbers. Taking a quick picture of the reading can also be helpful for future reference.
- Keep records: Tracking your meter readings over time allows you to monitor your energy usage and potentially spot opportunities to save.
By following these simple steps, you can stay on top of your energy usage and ensure that your bills reflect what you’ve actually consumed.
