Your MPRN and GPRN:

A final meter reading from your old property: 

First start by checking the location of your meter. This can be located inside or outside your property or if living in an apartment they can be found by requesting access or obtaining a reading from your landlord. 

Use the meter key to assess the meter or request a new one from ESB Networks or Gas Networks Ireland. There are seven different types of meters and four different ways to read these meters.

This is to ensure accurate readings in case you don’t agree with your bill statements.
