10 ways to Perk up your uni experience with our student survival guide!
Student digs don’t come cheap. Rent, internet, electricity…it can seem like a daunting task. But don't worry, Power NI can help with all of this!
First things first, let’s get your electricity account set up…
Call us on 03457 455 455 and one of our super friendly customer care team will talk you through everything. It’s really easy, just have the following info at hand:
- Contact details for either a single lead tenant or all tenants. If you’re sharing electricity costs it’s best to give details for each tenant.
- A recent meter reading to open your account (Here’s how to read your meter)
- Your payment details
- Landlord details (If applicable)
And the perks of being a Power NI customer? Well, they’re endless…
With Power NI you’ll get easy payment options, like Direct Debit. When you sign up for Direct Debit you can then activate your online account to view all your bills, letters and see your usage online. If you need help, we’ve got a web chat facility that allows you to speak directly to one of our customer care team.
But here’s the best bit…
When you become a Power NI customer you can access discounts and cash back deals on hundreds of everyday big brands like Tesco, Sainsbury’s, Argos, Amazon, River Island, Topman, House of Fraser and hundreds more – all designed to help you not just survive - but thrive - as a student!
