Electric bill

Friday, August 10, 2007

I just saw our monthly electric bill for the period July 7 to August 7, 2007 posted on our refrigerator. My bill is also being sent to me through an email, just in case it’s not delivered or misplaced. My consumption was 315 kwh and the total amount due is P3,205.15 or P103.39 per day. The payment due date is on August 16, 2007.

The bill provides for a monthly consumption chart. My average usage for 12 month was 320 kwh or P99.53 per day. My highest was on May 2007 and the lowest on January 2007.

It also provides billing summary and metering information, which I just ignored.

I’m paying my electric bills to my bank through the phone or the internet. It’s convenient and hassle-free. You don’t have to go to and queue in the Meralco or its authorized bank or payment centers to pay. And, you could pay anytime of the day, any day of the week and at the convenience of your home or office. I could also pay even when I’m out of town or abroad through my cellphone or the internet. An Automatic Debit Arrangement (ADA) could also be arranged through an authorized bank.

The Manila Electric Company is A.K.A. MERALCO. But, did you know that MERALCO is an acronym for Manila Electric Railroad And Light COmpany, which was the company's original name from 1903 to 1919.

Reminder:

Pay your bill on time to avoid disconnection. If payment is not made on the due date, a "notice of disconnection" would be immediately sent the following day. However, payment can still be made within the grace period (I think it's 5 days) but with surcharge.
