| 876472 | 2010-04-15 12:08:00 | This PowerCo is a bit confusing on that PowerSwitch website. Power is harder to forecast than broadband, at least you have it capped :D At this time, it appears combining gas and power is good maybe Genesis is chepaer than Contact, at least their gas is I think. Not yet looked at their controlled plans yet .. |

| 876474 | 2010-04-15 12:20:00 | Sweep, had a go, already signed up but the internet might be having some issues tonight cannot access them when I click the dates. Plod, are you with Genesis Composite plan? I read on the net, but cannot understand it. It says you have a single meter. Does the composite plan have a peak and offpeak rate? What's the difference to the anytime plan? On the internet it just gives a 18c per unit under the Composite plan. Cheers. Composite - This rate is a combination of the Anytime and Controlled rates but electricity is supplied through a single meter. Supply to a separately wired appliances, e.g. a hot water cylinder, can be turned off during peak times for an allocated period determined by the network company. But what does it mean with one meter? And if you choose not to wire it to off peak? |

| 876475 | 2010-04-16 02:31:00 | I gonnna request a new meter change to a composite, it appears cheaper. I also gonna request a recalibrate for the gas meter. Combine both electricity and gas to Genesis. Genesis is cheaper for both individually, let alone the dual discount. The dual discount is better with Genesis too. Heard that Trustpower and Mercury charges you if you pay your bills at the Post Office - accordingly to Consumer Magazine the latest one. It appears electricity is not bad but we will get a new meter with it anyway. Gas has been out of the wack. We don't use gas cooking that much at home (cooktops), oven is electric, so just the water but the bills has been $160 recently, I think I logged online and the current or next one is $180. |

| 876476 | 2010-04-16 06:42:00 | Yes yes and yes. house would be 60 odd years old. Original meter by the looks of it | plod (107) | ||
| 876477 | 2010-04-16 06:52:00 | I assume it is ok to get the Composite meter, the rates are cheaper. We're on the Anytime Plan. Any idea what meters are in new houses these days? Composite pricing plans tend to be on the bottom of the list... I may go out tomm and have look at the eco heaters and see how they are like, also planing to get a Power meter to see how much appliances are using .. |
