How do they pay for electricity? Payment for electricity: how to transfer meter readings, calculate and pay?

Our dear and beloved parents and grandmothers with grandfathers used to always clearly know what and where to pay. They remembered this once and for life. For example, to pay utility bills, they always ran to the nearest post office, lining up in kilometer queues and not allowing other citizens who came to pick up the parcel or send a letter, in general, to get in and get what they wanted. A payment day, you know ... It's more important than any parcels with envelopes! And with this you can not argue, because people who pay for electricity in post offices are mostly people of retirement age. They are used to doing things the way it was many decades ago. Of course, they can be understood, because the Internet for them is a dark forest, it's scary to go to banks, and the post office is always close.

We use and pay!

Perhaps, it will seem like a joke to someone, but today there are people who, apart from the nearby post office, do not know the places where it is still possible to pay utility bills. Meanwhile, in the courtyard of the XXI century! Progress does not stand still. Let's find out how to pay for electricity in civilized countries?

Several ways

Always - remember, always! - There are several methods of payment. That is why it is possible to choose the method that you like and will ideally fit into your work schedule, do not violate the plans and will not make you lose valuable time to stay in endless harassing lines. Of course, it is possible to understand some aged people who continue to attack the nearest post offices on payment days, because they pay for electricity in the old way, and they simply do not know another way to solve the problem. However, modern man, who values his time, has nothing to do here!

So let's see how true the words of modern economists are about the number of ways to pay for utility bills.

mail

First, the notorious post offices are ready to accept your payment, if you did come. The advantage of this method is that it is the most popular, known to everyone, and the number of branches mentioned is huge. You do not need to calculate anything on your own here. Just take the meter readings before you pay for electricity. By the way, at the same time you can send a card to a friend or receive a parcel (since you still came). Disadvantages, of course, outweigh. Imagine a long line that is almost not moving, a stuffy room, people who are trying to get ahead, tired and nervous postmen ... An unpleasant sight, right? But these are the harsh realities of the country. Therefore, you should choose another method for yourself!

Financial organizations

Next on the list is the bank. Just like in the post office, ATMs and banking institutions can be paid without commission. Here, too, there is no need to make any calculations independently. It is enough just to transfer the meter's testimony to a bank employee so that he enters them into the computer and calls the final amount. A modern person can choose absolutely any branch of the bank. Also an ATM can come to the rescue, however, to use it, it is necessary to have a plastic card with you.

It should be noted that some financial organizations establish a commission for such a service.

Payment with modern technology

You can calculate using the World Wide Web. True, here it will not be possible to simply transfer the meter's meter readings, it is necessary to calculate everything yourself. How to do this, we'll talk just below. It should be noted that paying for electricity through the Internet means visiting special sites. The funds are withdrawn either from a bank card or represent a special electronic money. Agree, this method is extremely convenient. You can, without leaving home, without leaving the computer, to pay off all available debts to public services.

Mobile phone in a hurry to help!

If the payment time is pressing, you can find a way that is always at hand. Look around! Look at your mobile phone - it will be your assistant. This requires only a connection to the Internet. Where does the money come from? For example, you can remove them from the personal account of your mobile phone. You can also set up a bank account management and pay with the help of the World Wide Web. True, it is important that the money went to its destination.

Machines

For several years, experts have promised us that special automatic machines will be installed, through which the payment for electricity will be calculated and an invoice will be issued. That is, you can just go and give money for the used kilowatts. At the same time, the payment for electricity by the meter takes place according to the standard for the bank scheme: the indications are entered, the final amount is calculated.

Accounting Devices

According to the current legislation, each of our compatriots residing in the apartment of a multi-storey building is obliged to equip their housing with special appliances that take into account the heating, the amount of water and electricity consumed. All fellow citizens were ordered to do this until July of the year before last. For those people who for some reason did not install such meters, up to July of last year also installed meters. Therefore, we can say with certainty that now the payment for electricity is carried out on the basis of accurate readings of the devices. These figures should be reported to the operator or independently entered when the payment is made.

So, first you need to update the previous value of the counter, that is, the data for the last month. Then the figures of the current period are entered. The difference between these values is multiplied by the cost of one kilowatt per hour.

Why so much?

Some of our fellow citizens complain that the tariffs are too high, we have to spread fabulous money for paying utilities. Still they complain in vain, since the electricity tariff is the same. Often people simply do not know how much to pay for electricity, where the figures come from. But the amount of electricity consumed depends only on the owner and his tenants. The average social rate in the country today is about seventy kWh per month. This is not much and not a little, but in these figures, according to statistics, about seventy percent of the population fit in. That is, this amount of electricity per month is enough.

How to save money?

If you do not fit into the aforementioned "standards", you should reconsider your behavior in relation to the use of the resource. What does it mean? Do you like light to be on fire 24 hours a day? Do you prefer to listen to music all the time using a huge radio cassette recorder? Have you got two refrigerators that work simultaneously? Well, then do not be surprised that you have to pay a lot of money. Still, you need to compare your appetites with possible consequences.

It is noteworthy that the tariffs vary, depending on the time of day. For example, the use of electricity at night will cost an order of magnitude cheaper than during the day. It is advisable to use this knowledge to save a certain amount of money. In this case, paying for electricity will not be so hard to beat the wallet. Also, the bonus will remain in the form of a chocolate bar. A joke, of course. But to complain about the tariff for electricity is quite stupid, because economists say it is low enough. With the right approach, you can generally save permanently and consume energy as much as you want.

In order to use electricity mainly at night, you need to get a special meter. Two-rate accounting for today is extremely beneficial for night owls, that is, for those citizens who are nocturnal or actively use energy-intensive devices.

Perhaps, it is worth giving preference to energy-saving technology. The benefit of its range is very wide. Try to curtail your "energy" appetites. In a word, everyone in this case acts as he likes. If money allows, it is possible to not concentrate at all on saving.

How to use two-rate accounting?

In order to use this form of accounting, it is necessary to establish a two-rate counter at home. And how do they pay for electricity in this case? It should be noted that the device together with the installation will cost about three thousand rubles. Of this amount directly for the work will need to spend about two thousand rubles. Based on the comments of modern power engineers, the costs associated with the acquisition and installation of a two-tariff meter will easily pay off within three years.

It should be noted that on the scoreboard of these meters there is a special digital indicator or symbolic drawings in the form of the sun, as well as the moon. You can buy such a counter yourself. In addition, you can contact the competent authorities for advice. You will certainly be prompted which device is more profitable to buy. By the way, regardless of who exactly sets it, you should send an application letter, so that the device is put into operation, and also later and sealed.

It is noteworthy that if a subscriber does not have any debts, he is sent or is handed over for further registration an energy supply agreement, as well as a receipt for payment of the entire cost of services, which includes the installation of a multi-tariff electricity meter. Today, the transfer of subscribers to the so-called two-tariff system of settlements - the service is paid. Cash is transferred directly on the receipt to the bank account of the contractor.

Output Rate

Soon, the owners of apartments in the capital will be able to pay for utilities , including paying for electricity, according to a new rule - based on a new weekend rate. As experts say, the mentioned tariff will be calculated on average between night and day. That is, we are expecting something radically new. Such a tariff will be preferential if you compare it with the day. This is a very interesting way to save money.

It is not a secret for anyone that on Saturdays and Sundays very many residents of our capital plan a huge number of economic affairs. As modern household appliances are usually characterized by extremely high energy consumption, the introduction of a new tariff today will significantly save on utility bills. It is assumed that it will operate around the clock, both on holidays and just on weekends.

Force Majeure

It happens that money does not reach. What does it mean? Suppose that you paid the necessary amount, but still there was an arrears of electricity. That is, there was a trivial error in some kind of calculation, offensive and undesirable. In this case, remember that the receipt of payment for electricity should be preserved. This will save not only your money, but also the nervous system. If you still could not keep the notorious piece of paper, you need to get a duplicate of it or just a paper confirming that the payment was still made. You can do this at the place of payment.
