Ensure that your household water and electricity consumption tariffs are designated ‘residential’.

Please note that:

A) The ‘domestic’ electricity consumption tariff is 30% more expensive than the 'residential' one. 

B) The ‘domestic’ water consumption tariff at least 56% more expensive than the 'residential' one. 

C) Unlike the ‘residential’ scheme, eco-reductions are not applied to the ‘domestic’ electricity consumption tariff.

D) Unlike the ‘residential’ scheme, one-off energy allowance cheques are not payable in respect of the ‘domestic’ water and electricity consumption tariff.

In order to convert from ‘domestic’ to ‘residential’ water and electricity consumption tariffs, one must register the correct number of household occupants with ARMS Ltd.
