What’s the difference between a Low User Plan and a Standard User Plan?
Low User option
If you use less than 8,000 units a year (about 660kwh/month) at your primary residence, the Low User option may be best for you. This rises to 9,000 units (750kwh/month) in parts of the lower South Island.
You pay:
- a lower daily fixed charge
- a higher variable charge for each unit of electricity you use. The Low User option is only available for your primary residence and not, for example, a holiday home.
Standard User option
If you use more electricity, a Standard User option may be better.
You pay:
- a higher daily rate
- a slightly lower rate for each unit of electricity you use.
-
Why is my bill an estimate?
There are a couple of reasons why your bill may have been an estimate:
- The meter reader may not have had access your property
- We might have received an actual read for your electricity but not for gas, so we have estimated your gas usage (or vice versa)
- If you have a smart meter, it may not have been communicating on the scheduled billing date
Please note, your estimate read will be corrected when you get an actual read the following month, so there is no need to generate a new bill. Your next bill from us will be based on an actual read and any difference between your last actual read and your next actual read would be balanced out.
-
Why has my gas bill been estimated?
There are a couple of reasons why your gas may have been an estimate:• The meter reader may not have had access to your property.• If you have a smart meter, it may not have been communicating on the scheduled billing date.Please note, your estimate read will be corrected when you get an actual read the following month, so there is no need to generate a new bill.Your next bill from us will be based on an actual read and any difference between your last actual read and your next actual read would be balanced out.
-
Why have I been billed on estimate reads when I provided my reading?
A customer read is when you provide us with your meter reads yourself without one of our contractors visiting your property to read your meter, or if current reads have not been received on our end from your smart meter.If you have recently provided a reading and we have generated your bill on that day, this will show as an estimate read on your bill.
-
Why have I been double charged?
There could be a few reasons why you have been double charged. This could be due to a price change that has recently happened or if you had recently changed your user plan that you are on.
If you have not had a recent plan change or a price change, please contact our customer care team.
-
When is my next meter reading?
This depends on when you get billed during the month.
If you have a non-smart meter, please make sure we have access to your meter so we can read it to make sure your bill is up to date and accurate. If we are unable to access your meter, we will leave a card in your mailbox to let you know. If you do receive an estimated bill, any difference between your last actual read and your next actual read would be balanced out so there is no need to generate a new bill.
If you feel like we have not read your meter correctly, please contact our customer care team and request for a special read, where one of our contractors will visit your property to read your outside of their scheduled timeframe.
Please note, this will take up to 10 working days to complete and incur a $30.00 fee which will show on your next invoice once the special read is complete if this is not your first special read with us.
