A subscriber  just got a letter from Meridian telling him that he could save $15 a month by switching to their Low User Plan because he was using under 9000 units a year. When he did the calculation on last month’s bill he found it would have cost him another $21 a month! He warns people not to be trapped with an offer based on yearly consumption when they bill you on a monthly basis. What is your experience?

We are also keen to hear of people’s experiences with changing power suppliers based on the whatsmynumber.org.nz website. Do the calculated savings stack up in reality?
