Bill Shock Meter Read Ameliorization Tutorial
There can be quite big shocks (called “Bill Shock”) associated with utility bills, but it might be advantageous to read the small print of the Bill’s email. For us, a recent shock was partly due to the electricity meter not having been read, in the normal course of events, before an Electricity Bill arrived.
But read further, and you might see that you can enter in your own Meter Readings based on reality rather than a scary projection, and if your supplier knows that, they’ll adjust the Bill Charge down, with this knowledge that you help pass on to them. Mind you, and it’s happened to us before, it can be pleasant to get the smaller bills to follow a “projection reading” shock, should you have the money to pay up front?!
We researched this, and …
- we found the two meters concerned … major yayyyyyyyy!!!! …
- the big number down the bottom is not the number needed … it is the meter serial number … minor ooooohhhhhh …
- but looking on the website, entering in meter readings, and looking at those top set of gauges …
… yes, what we can read for each meter makes sense as being a little bit above the last reading … so, let’s persist …(you might want to test yourself reading)
