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

• Your bill may be an estimated read
• You may have been billed for a longer period than usual
• You may not have paid last month’s bill by the due date, and you are paying administration of arrears

 You can check the consumption and type of reading on the back of your bill.

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.

You have received a disconnection letter because your account is overdue. Please call us on 0800 785 733 to arrange payment to avoid disconnection. If you have made a payment before the date of the letter, please call us to confirm your payment details.

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.

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.

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.
