• Why do I have to give a reading to close the account?

  So we can finalise your account to actual reads and only charge you for the electricity you have used.

  If you would like us to schedule an actual read, we can organise a contractor to visit your property. The fee is $30, and we require 10-15 days’ notice.

  If you have a smart meter, please call us three days after you have closed the account and we can remotely read the meter.

• What is the delivery part for on my bill?

  On your bill we itemise each charge, so you can see exactly what you are paying for. Delivery is all charges related to the delivery of your electricity, which includes Network Services, Retailer Services, Metering and the Electricity Authority Levy.

• Can I get my electricity stopped?

  If you are going overseas, you can turn off your main switch to stop your electricity. You will still be charged a daily fixed charge, but you should be using zero consumption. Just remember to turn it on when you get back!

  For your own personal safety, do not touch or tamper with the meter for any reason.

• Why do I pay so much for my bach when it’s empty?

  Most baches would generally be low users as they are not used all year round, however only primary residences can be on a Low User plan. This means that your bach will be on a Standard User plan, giving you a higher daily rate and a slightly lower rate for each unit of electricity you use. 

  Every electricity company in New Zealand must adhere to this regulation. To find out more about Standard and Low User plans click here.

• Why is my bill high?

  Your bill could be higher than expected due to a few reasons:

  • Your bill may have been generated based on an estimate read. If you do receive an estimated bill, any difference between your last actual read and your next actual read would balance out. You can check your consumption and type of reading on the back of your bill.
  • You may have been billed for a longer period than usual – you can check the number of days you have been billed for on your bill.
  • You may be on the wrong user plan. To check what user plan is right for your home, click here.
  • You may have had visitors staying with you during this period
  • You may have used your heater or air conditioning more than usual
  • Your gas heater or heat pump may need a service
  • You could have a faulty appliance that is using more electricity then it should. Read below for information on how to do a “two-man test”

  To check if one of your appliances is faulty and using more electricity than it should, you can do a “two-man test”:

  1. Turn off all appliances in your home (including hot water cylinder) and take a meter reading
  2. Have a friend stand at the meter while you turn on one appliance and see how much the meter reading increases
  3. Then turn this appliance off, go to another one and turn it on
  4. Go through each appliance one by one. If you notice one appliance is causing the meter reading to increase much faster than other devices, this could mean that the appliance is faulty and using more electricity than it should

  If you believe an appliance is faulty, it is best to contact an electrician to repair the appliance or replace it.

  If you have any further questions, please feel free to email our team on customer.care@justenergy.co.nz

• How do I cancel my account?
