The exact date you should take a meter reading - how to do it

With the Energy Price Guarantee coming to an end in the coming days, many may be looking at ways they can save more money on their energy bills.

Fortunately, one simple way you can ensure you don't get charged more for your electricity than you should do is by taking a simple meter reading. Billpayers who pay via direct debit should do a meter reading on the final day current energy rates are in place - June 30.

This is because energy firms estimate a direct debit customer's energy usage across a certain period. By providing an up-to-date meter reading before the new rate comes in you can avoid a firm overestimating and charging you too much.
