Step 1 – Enter Your Canadian Energy Plan Details

Set up your electricity and natural gas plan in PowerBillCheck using the values printed on your Canadian bill.

For electricity, you'll enter your:

• ✔ Unit rate (¢/kWh)
• ✔ Delivery charge (¢/kWh)
• ✔ Daily fixed charge ($/day)
• ✔ GST/HST rate (5%, 12%, 13% or 15%)
• ✔ Any additional electricity fees or charges

For natural gas, you'll enter:

• ✔ Gas unit rate ($/m³ or $/GJ)
• ✔ Delivery charge
• ✔ Carbon charge (if separate)
• ✔ GST/HST
• ✔ Any additional gas fees or charges

PowerBillCheck supports fixed-rate plans only and does not include time-of-use (TOU) pricing. Fixed-rate plans give you the clearest and most accurate bill verification.

Step 2 – Log Your Meter Readings

Take monthly readings from your electricity meter and natural gas meter, then enter them into PowerBillCheck.

Even if you have a smart meter, physical readings help avoid missing data or inaccurate portal estimates.

You’ll instantly see:

• ✔ kWh used (electricity)
• ✔ m³ or GJ used (gas)
• ✔ Exact cost of consumption
• ✔ Delivery + fixed charges

If your supplier’s bill doesn’t match your real calculated total, you’ll know immediately.

Step 3 – Add Timestamped Photos for Proof

Attach photos of your electricity or natural gas meter to each reading. Each image is timestamped automatically.

This gives you verifiable proof if you ever need to dispute a bill with:

• ✔ Hydro companies
• ✔ Natural gas providers
• ✔ Landlords

All photos stay on your device — nothing is uploaded or shared.

Step 4 – View Charts of Your Usage

PowerBillCheck provides clear monthly bar and line charts so you can understand:

• ✔ How your usage changes
• ✔ How your costs rise or fall
• ✔ Your long-term trends

No complicated portals. No confusing utility dashboards.

Step 5 – Export Your Data

You can export your readings, costs and usage in CSV or PDF format.

Perfect for keeping personal records or presenting evidence to your utility provider.
