No Electricity - but I’ve got a credit meter.

In a number of cases, if you have a credit meter, you will see numbers in the digital display to say how much money is apparently in the credit meter.

However in smaller writing it will say whether it is in credit or debit.

Electrical credit meters will still provide you with electricity even after you have run out of credit, however, this will just be just a few pounds, as the electricity supplier does not want you to go without electricity say overnight when it is cold. There will be enough credit on the account just to provide you some heat and light until you can get to the shop to recharge your electricity card/key.

Credit - means that you have still got some money on your credit key for your credit meter.

Debit - means that the money has run out on your credit key and it is now time to go to your local shop to get more money put on the key.

At Bright Spark we have often been called out to properties where there has been no electricity and the key has not got any credit on it.

You also find this issue when you are renting a property and have just moved in. The previous tenants may have taken the key with them, so you will have to speak to your electricity supplier or speak to the shop where they charge your key up with credit.

We recently appointed Bright Spark Electrical Services for upgrading our home electrics. Initially their quotation submitted was very professional, every detail of work to be carried out was itemised. The work was completed very efficiently and very speedily. In fact a good tidy electrical job. I believe in giving credit where it is due I would recommend Bright Spark Electrical Services not only for the work completed in my home, but also for their impressive record, which can be easily checked.

I had a number of light fittings that weren't working and, on a recommendation from a friend, called Bright Spark. Karen called in to evaluate and price the work the same day and sent one of her colleagues, to carry it out before the end of the week. It was a very impressive response and the work was done to an excellent standard. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Bright Spark, and it's reassuring to know such a reliable firm exists the next time I need an electrician.

We found the service to be friendly and pro-active. We had an appointment quickly and the engineer was able to find the issue, which was not straightforward, within an hour and rewire the effected ceiling lamp and resolve the issue completely within 2 hours. Very methodical and accurate working - most appreciated!

Just to say a big thank you for the work that your electrician carried out at my mothers house. He was very professional and a clean worker and the finished job was a complete success. It is very comforting to know that when a tradesperson attends the property of a elderly customer that they feel safe and happy. Once again, Thanks Keith

Keith, Pembury

Thank you also for such a brilliant service, it’s been a pleasure dealing with you from start to finish, and your team member today was fantastic too. I would have absolutely no hesitation using you for electrical work in future and recommending you to friends. Now, if you could just set up a building and plumbing company too… ha ha!
