Utility Meter Reading & Dispute Log

Your supplier's estimate and your own reading are not the same thing. Keep your own record, photographed and dated, before a dispute needs it.

If you never recorded it, it's your word against theirs

A supplier's estimate can run for months without correction, and once a dispute starts, "I think it was lower than that" doesn't carry much weight. A dated, photographed reading you submitted yourself is a different kind of evidence — but only if you actually kept a record separate from what the supplier shows you.

This log keeps your own reading history, with the usage between each reading calculated automatically, so a discrepancy shows up early instead of after months of estimated bills.

  • Reading Log — date, time, and reading for every meter, with a note field for the photo reference
  • Auto-Calculated Usage — consumption between each reading, calculated automatically
  • Supplier Comparison — your reading against what the supplier used to bill you
  • Dispute Notes — a place to log any discrepancy and the supplier's response

Step by step

  1. Download the workbook and log your meter reading each time you take one, with a photo saved separately.
  2. The workbook calculates usage automatically between each reading.
  3. Compare your reading against what the supplier billed for the same period.
  4. Log any discrepancy and the supplier's response in the dispute notes.

Anyone who wants their own record of usage, separate from the supplier's

Whether you're catching a run of estimated bills or building evidence for a specific dispute, this keeps your own reading history ready before you need it.
