Standard Meters For Home

Your home electricity and gas meters are how we gauge your energy bills.

The more often they are read, the more accurate your bills and the better you can map your energy usage.

We usually read your meter every two months, but that may depend on how easy it is to access. You can also take the reading yourself and enter it online. That way you'll get a more accurate bill that reflects your actual energy usage, rather than an estimate.

How to Read Your Meter

We would like to help you understand how to read your electricity and gas meters.

Perhaps you have received an estimated bill or a meter reader has been unable to access your meter. Whatever your reasons, we would like to make it as simple as possible for you.

Entering your own meter reading will generate a bill based on this actual reading instead of an estimate.

An estimate is used every second month or where we have been unable to gain access to your meter.

To submit a meter reading simply complete the form below and we will send you a bill within five working days (this excludes members of CRT or Farmlands). If for some reason we are not able to process your reading we will contact you.
