What we'd love to hear about
- Real bills with real retailers. These are the single most useful kind of feedback - they let us check the calculator's estimate lands in the right ballpark for a specific household.
- Wattages that look wrong. Our appliance data comes from Consumer NZ, EECA and manufacturer rating plates, but appliances vary. If you have a meter reading that disagrees with our default, send it through.
- Regions we're missing. We cover 40+ locations from the MBIE QSDEP; if yours is missing or grouped awkwardly, let us know.
- Calculation bugs. If a number seems off, tell us what you entered and what you expected - we'll reproduce it.
- Retailer quirks. Unusual plan structures (peak-window surcharges, capacity-based tariffs) that the calculator handles clumsily.
What we can't help with
We're not a power retailer and we're not affiliated with any of them. We can't look up your account, change your plan, or resolve a billing dispute. For those:
- Your retailer's customer service is the first stop.
- Utilities Disputes is the free independent scheme for unresolved complaints.
- Powerswitch (Consumer NZ) is the best place to compare plans.
Response times
This is a side project. We typically reply within a few days. Technical issues and obvious data errors get priority.
Business inquiries
Partnership, sponsorship or advertising inquiries beyond standard AdSense display ads: same email address. Please put "Partnership" in the subject line.
