@Damon:

Unfortunately we cannot supply properties with Power Manager meters because the recharge technology is owned by your current retailer.

As soon as I can use you guys with power manager, I am switching.

I’m on prepay, you are a prepay provider.

Switch to power manager and you will get 1/2 the rental properties in chch, especially at your prices.

@Kim:

Unfortunately powerswitch is currently unable to incorporate our pricing - we are told they will be upgrading their system soon. We do appear as a link at the bottom of the page.

For now I would suggest that you go to powerswitch and compare the estimated annual energy cost with our savings calculator estimated cost with Powershop - be sure that you have the same tariff configuration and annual consumption selected.

Sorry, it is a bit of mucking around, but you will be able to see how we compare.

I’ve just read the above blog comments and have been trying to work out whether powershop is cheaper than other retailers in my area. I have previously used http://www.powerswitch.org.nz to do this, but powershop is not included in the list. Are you able to compare powershop pricing options on powerswitch? Will this be possible in future? Or is it too changeable? How do I know for sure I’ll save money with you?

Thanks

@Daniel:

Unfortunately we cannot currently supply “Power Manager” customers without replacing your meter.

If you use all of your purchased credits you will go into negative balance. We will automatically top-up your account after we read your meter/review your account.

Hi, we are on Meridians “Power Manager” (Pre-paid power), in Christchurch . . are we able to switch easily? And also what happens in the unlikely event that we use all our power credits? will the power be disconnected until we buy more or do we go into a negitive balance??

@Alexis:

Sorry, we cannot currently supply customers with power managers. We are working on other prepaid solutions for the future.
