Final meter readings taken, photographed, and submitted on moving day. Photo evidence of exactly what you used, no disputes months later about mystery energy bills.
### Avoid Surprise Bills Three Months Later
You move out on the 15th. Your supplier reads the meter on the 28th. Suddenly you're being charged for **two weeks of someone else's energy use**. Without a proper reading from moving day, you've got nothing to prove otherwise.
> 💡 **Pro tip:** Book me for the actual moving day, not the day before. Final readings should be as close to handover as possible for accurate billing.

Good to Know
> 📸 **Keep the photos:** Even after submitting readings, keep the photos for at least a year. If there's ever a billing dispute, time-stamped photos are solid evidence of what the meters actually showed. **Smart meters:** Even if you've got smart meters, take manual readings on moving day. Smart meter data can be delayed or inaccurate during account changes - your photos are backup evidence. **Multiple occupancy:** If you're in a flat with shared meters, make sure you know which meter is yours. Write the serial number down when you move in so you read the right one when you leave. **Old analog meters:** Some older meters are harder to read (dial types, for example). If you're not sure, photograph it clearly and call the supplier - they can help interpret it. **When to submit:** Submit readings on the actual moving day if possible. If you submit days before or after, your bill won't be accurate to your actual usage.
Frequently Asked Questions about Meter readings move in Honiton
Why pay someone to read my meters?
On moving day, you've got a million things happening. Meter readings are easy to forget until you get a bill three months later for energy you didn't use. I take the readings, photograph them for evidence, and submit them to your suppliers - you've got proof of exactly what you used.
Can't I just read the meters myself?
You absolutely can. But if you're juggling removal vans, cleaning, final checks, and everything else, it's easy to forget or do it wrong. Also, having time-stamped photos is better evidence than your handwritten note if there's ever a dispute.
What meters do you read?
Electric, gas, and water if you've got a meter. Also oil tank if you're in a rural property. I photograph each one showing the reading clearly, note down the numbers, and submit them to the relevant companies.
Do you submit the readings or just give them to me?
I can do either. If you give me your account details, I'll submit them directly online to your suppliers. Or I can just give you the readings and photos for you to submit yourself. Whatever you prefer.
What if I can't access my meters?
If they're in locked cupboards or obscure places, you'll need to show me where they are or leave access. Most meters are in fairly standard spots - I can usually find them, but it speeds things up if you can point me in the right direction.
