Stay in Control: A Business Guide to Submitting Non-Half-Hourly Meter Readings with 3T Power

We believe energy should be straightforward, transparent, and empowering for your business. One of the simplest ways to stay on top of your energy usage, and your energy costs, is through regular and accurate meter readings. 

These readings aren’t just numbers; they’re the foundation for fair billing, smarter energy decisions, and a more sustainable future for your business and Northern Ireland. 

Staying on top of your meter readings brings a wide range of benefits, especially for businesses looking to reduce waste and take control of their energy: 

Fair and Transparent Billing: No one likes surprises on their energy bill. Regular readings ensure you’re charged only for the energy you’ve used – no estimates, no guesswork. 

Smarter Energy Management: Seeing how and when your business uses energy makes it easier to spot trends, reduce waste, and improve overall efficiency. 

Better Budgeting: With real usage data at your fingertips, forecasting future costs and setting energy budgets becomes a breeze.

Top Tips for Reading Your Meter Accurately 

To make sure you’re getting the most out of your readings, here are a few handy tips: 

Set a Regular Schedule: Aim to take your readings monthly. This keeps your data consistent and avoids falling back on estimated bills. 

Capture the Right Numbers: Read all the digits from left to right, including leading zeros – but skip the red digits or any dial readings. 

Snap a Photo: Taking a quick photo of your meter reading creates a helpful record and can back up any questions about accuracy. 

Watch for Spikes: Unusual increases in usage? It might signal a faulty appliance or an area where efficiency could be improved.
