Home Why Unicom Services Helpzone Blog Contact Email Login COVID-19 Info Customer Zone Meter reads Your meter records the number of units your business has used. By providing reads each month we are able to bill you for what you have actually used, rather than estimates. We want to do this so that you can budget for future bills and monitor your consumption. Every month we will remind you that your meter read is due so that it can used for your bill. As a general rule, in order for us to use this reading for your bill, for your read to be used for your bill we would like you to submit your reads between the 24th and the last working day of the month.  It really is that simple!1 Keeping an eye on your meter readings can help you monitor your usage. By regularly providing us with meter reads, you will always have an accurate bill which can help with your business cashflow. The easiest way to give us your meter reads is through your Customer Zone (try to do this by the last working day of each month). You can also send us an email to info@switchingon.com with your meter read or call our customer services team on 0161 946 4444. Unsure how to read your meter? We want reading your meter to be as easy as possible. If you are not sure how to read your meter or what information to provide, read on.
