Meters and meter reading

With the exception of a few large consumers who are connected to meters that are monitored automatically, businesses will have meters that need to be physically read. Owning and reading gas and electricity meters is now open to third parties i.e. your supplier will probably contract these services to another company. Under certain circumstances the consumer may own their own meters. Regardless of who is responsible, you should always ensure that

  • You know where your meters are,
  • They are the ones you are being billed for and
  • You take your own readings when you enter and vacate the property as well as on a regular basis, check these against your bills and notify your supplier immediately if there are any discrepancies
