There should be a sticker in the meterbox with the ICP on it, and it should also be on your power bills.

I also could have asked the developer who was paying the bills. There was no sticker on the outside of meterbox, do you have to take the cover off?

You might have to look through the window if it has one, but you should be able to see it without unscrewing any covers. It's usually handwritten.

Thanks, it was obscured inside due to box cover.

I just checked Electric Kiwi account shows a different IPC number. If its wrong this house and electrical numbering really needs to be sorted.

If it's wrong then there is a very real possibility that you are paying for someone else's power and they are paying for yours.

 

Check the ICP on your bill - make sure it matches what is in your meterboard and that the meter readings somewhat match what is recorded in your power bill (it won't be exact as it takes time to process and send out the bill while more power is been used). Depending on your power company it may also record the meter numbers on the bill which you can match up to what the meter numbers you have in the meter board.

Hi Greg. Its happened in this area before. The problem is that to bring the title numbers in line with the physical numbers is apparently going to cost about $4k which nobody would do.

 

Once apon a time the entrance was at the far end, which in recent times has changed.

I spent about 2 hours this weekend trying to get the power account switched from developer to us. I did not have a power bill from them, though they requested to do so, so went on number 2, which the electric supplier deemed invalid. Next I found that number 11 had an agreeable IPC meter number, and the supplier started the switch. Then I found that the actual IPC of the house meter which was partially obscured, differed from what the supplier had deemed. I corrected this, then found that other patrons of the villas have had errant connections also due to this vagary in numbering.

 

 

 

Still not having that warm fuzzy feeling I go to the Electricity Authority, and cant confirm the IPC number with the address as shown below; notice at the bottom, no address found.

 

The electrical inspections certificates/compliance for the build dont have any field for the IPC, and show unit 2 as the address but elsewhere its being called number 11.

 

Anyone know where I can find that physical address for the IPC? Because thats what bills will be issued to and so on.

Morning @ageorge - if you search for the address without the 11/, you will find all of the units at number 121. It appears from my search, that the ICP you posted earlier, is indeed attached to unit 11.

I wouldn't sweat house numbering etc, the only thing that really matters is the ICP number and that whatever that number is on the meter board for your house matches up with the ICP on the power bill, if it doesn't your paying someones else's power bill.
