When you switch your electricity or gas to Airtricity, don't worry, your meter will continue to be read in exactly the same way.

Bord Gais Networks and ESB Networks will call to your house or apartment to attempt to try and read your meter four times a year; and they'll also provide two estimated meter readings.  That's a total of six meter reads a year.

If for any reason engineers can't access your meter for any reason they will provide an estimated reading.

Estimated reads can lead to inaccuracies in your bill, for that reason we encourage our customers to submit their own meter reads to help ensure that their bills accurately reflect their consumption at all times throughout the year.
