What Is Your Meter Reading Day ?

Pretty much the same as you.

Meters read today, submitted on line, spreadsheet updated.

Bill usually comes 3rd of the month.

Monthly. On date we moved in to the home(s). But only since retired. Occasionally before then, both were under the stairs :eek:

I hate reading my electricity meter because I have to get the step ladder out but I am forcing myself to do so. Changing suppliers now so will read it today and then the first of every month. Good to see others have spreadsheets. My kids think I'm weird for having one, (or several, I have them for other things too).

Every day, and twice on Sundays

My husband tells me that I'm the only sad person with a spreadsheet, it goes back 13 years now. I tend to read around 20th because I get an email around 18th. This month I submitted readings 2 days before the email came from Avro, they still overestimated both sets of readings so I sometimes wonder why I bother. We're moving soon so I do not want to be in too much credit, when I left Flow it took months to get my £250 back.

A mobile phone on a selfie stick might help? My electricity meter is at ceiling height but I can just about reach to snap a picture on the phone, then read at my leisure!

Today ...just read meters and bunged figures in the spreadsheet. Yorkshire Energy ,however, won't use for billing as they require reading on the 6th - I usually just prorate the reading from the 1st to save another trip to the meters.

I do mine every Sunday @ 11am ish and put them in excel, have done this for 6 years and always keep backups of bills. I upload them all to the cloud just in case

Whenever I remember; probably every six weeks from the in-home display. For many weeks, the in-home display stopped showing the readings, and then they suddenly started working again. A cross-check with the meters confirmed they were right. Whether that means the readings were also not being transmitted to the supplier, I don't know. Will have to check the bills closely.
