New Build Bills

louise07_2

Hi,

We are moving into a new build home - no previous tenants obviously. What is best way to set up our gas electric and water bills and to choose our suppliers - we are very energy efficient so I'm presuming one that reads our meter instead of estimates? Any advice will be useful, thank you

It's a bit hard to estimate your usage in a new property. The new property should be much more energy efficient. You could just use average figures similar to your existing property and base your comparisons on that. Water you can't choose it is what it is. You can read your own meter every week/month and supply your readings to the supplier whenever you wish. There is no need to wait for an annual meter reading and having esitmated bills in the intervening period.

The services will already be connected, so you'll be in a deemed contract with the existing gas and electricity suppliers. You have to register with them on day one and submit opening reads before you can start a switch. Then use a comp site with your estimated annual kWh usage,.
You can't choose your water supplier.
