About reading your meter

 

Monthly Meter Reads

No-one does exactly the same thing each month. Sometimes you're at home every day and sometimes you're away. So whether you're a big family with all the latest appliances, or a household of two with more modest tastes, how can anyone know how much power you've used?

As a Mercury Energy customer, you don't have to rely on an estimate.

We read our customers' meters every month* ensuring you pay for the gas and electricity you've actually used - and not a cent more.

Mercury Energy offers a monthly meter reading service to the majority of our customers. However it may not always be possible for us to access your meter (if your meter's inside and you're on holiday, for example). In these cases it is normal for us to estimate your consumption as accurately as possible.

If this is not acceptable to you there may be other alternatives such as our Remote Reading Service, if you are in an area where this service is offered; or you may be able to arrange to provide your own meter reading.

To read your own meter** you can either: 

  1. enter it online by clicking the button below;


     
  2. enter it using our automated telephone service by calling
    (09) 580 3566,
    or
     
  3. contact our Customer Service Team on 0800 10 18 10.

Note: Mercury Energy's policy is to only accept a maximum of six consecutive customer readings.

*Provided we have access.
**Acceptance of customer provided readings is at Mercury Energy's discretion.
