How do I register with Kaizen Energy Ltd for supply of heat to my apartment?
Please register for supply and sign up for direct debit online HERE.

What are the main elements of the heating system?
The central boiler plant is fuelled by Natural Gas. Hot water from the central plant is pumped around the building as required to supply each apartment with heating and domestic hot water. Local controls in each apartment enables customers to easily set their time schedules and temperatures to match their own requirements.

How do I operate the heating system?
The heating system is operable via the time-clock located on the wall inside each apartment. The operating instructions for this unit should be provided to you by the owner of the apartment or their agent but can be viewed HERE

How do I control the temperature?
The temperature is controlled via a thermostat linked to your time-clock. You should set the temperature on the thermostat to the temperature you require in your apartment and the heating system will maintain that temperature.

Do I need to program my Hot water?
Yes. You have a hot water storage tank in your hot press that must be preheated in order for you to have hot water. This can be programmed through your time-clock. You may also have the option of using an electric immersion to heat the water however this is ~50% more expensive than using the central system.

How are meter readings taken?
Meter readings are recorded for individual apartments via a central processing unit located within the central plant of the apartment complex. Therefore, access to apartments is not required to take individual meter readings and readings will be actual recordings of units consumed and not based on estimated units of energy consumption.

What is involved in the billing process?
Bills will be issued bi-monthly based on the kWh energy consumption per apartment at the standard billing rate. Bills will be issued to tenants as named on the apartment lease. The amount on each bill is due for payment 14 days from when the bill is issued.

What is the standing charge?
