Hello all,

I am having gas and electricity with Atlantic. The bill is online no standard charge, which has tier1, tier2.

Is this good to give them reading very often? If i give them too often, is that mean i will pay tier 1 more, which is more expensive?

Thanks

    The amount you pay at tier1 is typically a fixed amount per quarter.

    The amount of times you provide a meter reading does not affect how many tier 1 units you are charged.

    Readings at every bill (and in between) will help any Supplier to always bill you accurately and get your DD correct. Estimation can be very poor if few readings and is the reason why most people have issues will poor DD calculation.

    So, it's a good thing!
