For our NSW customers, please make sure to check the government guidelines before reading your own meter during Coronavirus restrictions.

Unit, townhouse or warehouse – you’ll most likely find your electricity, gas or hot water meter outside. Please be careful! We trust you’ll be fine, but sometimes meters can be in awkward places or home to unfriendly guests.

Not outside? You could try:

Electricity meter

  • Your hallway or laundry

  • The garage, porch or on an external wall

Gas meter

  • Most likely, out the front of your place, close to the street

  • NSW-ers, try under your kitchen sink

Apartment life?

All the meters for your building are probably stored together in a room or cupboard.

If it isn’t in any of these locations, it’s worth chatting with your body corporate, building manager or real estate agent as they’re likely to know where the meter is located.
