You’re probably sick of the notification, “it’s time to send us a meter reading!” But there has never been a more important time to send in regular readings. We’ve all seen the news, prices are sky high, numerous suppliers buckled under the increase and price caps and direct debits payments are on the rise.
If you’re currently out of contract for a domestic supply, the new price cap comes into place on the 1st April and is 54% higher than the current cap! You should log a meter reading on the 31st March to ensure you are billed accurately on your lower rates before the change happens. (You can also take a picture of your meter, just in case the supplier requests this).
For business customers, make sure you’re sending in a read before a new contract starts, whether you’ve renewed with your current supplier or you’re moving to a new one.
If you don’t have a smart meter, sending in regular monthly reads means you’ll only be billed against what you’re using. Estimated bills can be extortionate and they aren’t always picked up in time before the payment is taken out.
If you’d like to move over to a smart meter so it takes the job off your hands, contact us today and we can request this with your supplier.
