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.

I needed a job done really 'sooner rather than later' and at a weekend too! Karen came out, assessed what needed to be done and set to work straight away. Job done, cleared up and on her way within the hour! Not often you get that service! Certainly will keep her number on my mobile and recommend to anyone who needs an electrical job done!

We have been very impressed by Bright Spark Electrical Services. Karen Smith visited us to discuss our requirements and gave advice which cut our costs. The work was carried quickly and on time with excellent results. The areas affected were clean and tidy when the work was completed. We had a slight problem with a unit but it was dealt with as soon as it was reported. I have no hesitation in recommending this company and will definitely contact them again for any further electrical problems.

Your electrician Philip was punctual, friendly and very efficient. Would certainly use you again and recommend your company.

Karen and her team of electricians did a very good job in assessing our electrical circuits, modernising and upgrading our fuse boxes and ensuring compliance with the latest regulations. They were efficient and polite and, when they had finished the work, left the house tidy and in good condition

I was really impressed with the work done for me by Bright Sparks. It is lovely that they are local to me in Hildenborough and grateful that they could fit me in at short notice. The repairs were done quickly and easily by Charlie and the whole thing coordinated by Karen who kept me informed every step of the way. Well done Bright Sparks!
