Frequently asked questions

Does having an advanced meter make a difference to my bill?

When you have an advanced meter installed the way energy usage appears on your bill will look a little different. Instead of a start read date and end read date, you will see the entire amount of units used per tariff in the billing period.

Although your bill might look a little different, the amount you pay for power is the same whether you have an advanced meter or an old basic meter.

I have an advanced meter, will someone still read my meter every 3 months?

Where there is mobile coverage, your electricity usage data is sent to us securely on a daily basis. However, if this coverage is not available our service provider will still need to access your property to download your energy data every 3 months.

If I am in a mobile black spot, can I still have an advanced meter?

Yes, however your meter will need to be read manually.

What’s the difference between a basic meter and an advanced meter?

The main difference between basic meters and advanced meters is the way in which your energy usage is recorded and sent to Aurora Energy.
