Submitting your meter readings might not be the most exciting job on your to-do list, but it plays a big role in keeping your energy bills accurate. Getting your readings in at the right time helps you avoid estimated charges, stay in control of your usage, and make sure you’re only paying for what you actually use.
The good news? It only takes a moment — and understanding when to submit them can make the whole process even easier. Here’s everything you need to know.
