Final meter readings & bills
We will take a final meter reading on the date you specify on the Notice of Change of Tenancy.
This reading will be used to create your final bill.
If your property is fitted with a Smart Meter we can take the reading remotely. If we need to read the meter in person, you'll be responsible for the supply until we can gain access to the meter and disconnect if needed.
Disconnecting the supply to your old premises
Unless a new tenant has notified us they wish to take over the supply, we will disconnect it.
If we cannot disconnect the electricity remotely, we'll need to gain access to your meter. You will be responsible for the supply until we are able to gain access.
Moving to a premises with a disconnected supply
If the premises you are moving to has had its supply disconnected you'll need to do the following:
- Call our Customer Care Team on 01534 505460
- Complete an Application for Supply for a Non-Domestic Property
Reconnecting the supply
If the supply had the service fuse removed and installation is still in a safe condition:
- We'll reconnect the supply within two working days if we can access your meter and connections
- We'll leave the main isolator switch off as it's your responsibility to turn on the supply and ensure it's safe
- If we can't access the meter, we'll leave a card asking you to arrange a time when we can gain access
- If any fault on our supply equipment prevents us reconnecting it immediately, we'll fix it and notify you of any delay
If the supply was remotely disconnected:
- We'll remotely reconnect the supply within 48 working hours
- It's your responsibility to turn on the supply in your property and ensure it's safe to do so
- You'll need to access the meter and energise the supply by following the instructions on the meter screen
