Invoice and payments

  • Payments

    • Every month you pay for our heat supply. You will receive a monthly invoice for this (advance) amount. You can pay this invoice in two ways:

      Direct debit

      Do you want more convenience and less costs? Then choose payment by direct debit. The (advance) amount will then be automatically debited from your account every month around the 27th. As a result, you don't have to worry about it yourself. You can apply for direct debit directly when you register as a customer. If you have not (yet) done so, you can still request it. Fill out the form and send it back to us. We'll take care of the rest.

      Manually transfer every month

      You can also pay by manually transferring the (advance) amount to us every month. You must pay the monthly invoice before the end of the month. A monthly surcharge is charged for paying by invoice. The amount of the surcharge can be found on the rate card in MijnEteck. The cost of paying by invoice will appear as an invoice cost on your monthly invoice.

      When transferring manually, make sure that you enter the correct details (amount and account number), see also the question 'What is Eteck's account IBAN number?'

    • If we do not succeed in debiting the (advance) amount from your account the first time (around the 27th), for whatever reason, we will try again around the 10th of the following month.

      Of course, you can also choose to transfer the outstanding amount yourself to the bank account number mentioned on the invoice. You can always find these in our online customer portal MijnEteck (Dutch).

  • Annual and final invoice

    • If you are connected to an Eteck heat network where you pay for consumption, you will receive an annual bill every year. You will receive the annual statement in the first six weeks of the new year. Unfortunately, we are unable to respond to priority requests, due to established procedures and controls. We ask for your understanding.

      Did this anwer your question?

      Thank you for your feedback!
    • On your annual statement or final invoice, you can see the balance between the part you have already paid via the monthly invoices and the actual costs. Your annual statement shows the costs you incurred last year plus the monthly amounts you have already paid.

      Have you paid more than necessary in the past year? Then you will get your money back. If the consumption has been higher, you will have to pay extra.

      A new advance amount is also calculated on the annual invoice. In doing so, we take into account past consumption and the tariffs for the new year. The automatically calculated advance amount is a recommended amount that we automatically set for you. You can increase (or decrease) this yourself via our customer portal MijnEteck.

      Did this anwer your question?

      Thank you for your feedback!
    • Your annual or final statement will have an expiration date on it. We will pay out the credit to you around this date. Is there still an amount you have to pay us, for example due to an outstanding invoice? Then we will settle your credit with this first. Any remainder will still be paid to you around the expiry date. Through our online customer portal MijnEteck you always have insight into the status of payments and invoices.

      Did this anwer your question?

      Thank you for your feedback!
    • On your annual invoice, we automatically calculate the new advance amount based on past consumption, the new rates and the number of degree days to be expected. It is therefore possible that you will receive a refund on your annual bill this year and our recommended advance amount will be higher. This may be because, for example, it has been a warmer year than average or because rates will rise in the new year. We would therefore like to advise you to stick to our recommended amount to avoid surprises on your next annual statement.

    • Please note all meter readings and contact our Customer Care department by phone on 085-0218000. Together, we check the meter readings that you have taken with the meter readings that are in our system.

      If it turns out that the meter readings on your annual statement are incorrect, we will adjust them and you will receive a corrected annual statement.

  • Advance amount

    • You can easily do this yourself via our online customer portal MijnEteck. Do you need help? Call 085-0218000 or contact us digitally.

      Please note that reducing your advance amount is at your own risk. The annual statement may turn out to be higher than you expect due to a reduction in the advance amount. In addition, you can only reduce an advance amount once a year. Increasing is unlimited.

    • The automatically calculated advance amount is a recommended amount that we automatically set for you. This amount is calculated on the basis of past consumption, any new tariffs and the number of degree days to be expected. It is therefore possible that our advice for your advance amount is higher than you were used to. This may be because, for example, it has been a warmer year than average or because rates will rise in the new year. We would therefore like to advise you to stick to our recommended amount to avoid surprises on your next annual statement.

      If, despite our advice, you still want to change your advance amount, you can do so via MyEteck or in the MyEteck App. Keep in mind that if you reduce your advance amount and your consumption remains the same or increases, you will have to pay extra on your annual bill next year.

Meters and consumption

  • Meter readings

    • The meter reading of the heat is displayed on a digital meter in the meter cupboard or storage room. This meter reading is usually displayed in GJ.

      If you also receive hot tap water and/or cold drinking water from Eteck, the water meter is close to the heat meter. This value is indicated in m3.

      If you have a Kamstrup Multical 401 energy meter and purchase tap water from us, you can read the tap water level by pressing and holding the control button of the energy meter for three seconds. The position is shown in the display at the same time as the letter "A".

      If there are cost sharers on the radiators, you can read the meter readings directly. In that case, Eteck will convert these units into a heat consumption.

      Every home is different and there are therefore individual differences. For the exact situation in your home, please refer to the information card in our online customer portal MijnEteck.

  • Compensation

    • Eteck will start work to remedy the malfunction as soon as possible after we become aware of it. This is not always possible before you notice it. We of course regret it if you experience inconvenience due to a malfunction and it is logical that you wonder whether you are entitled to compensation.

      Collective interruption

      In the event of a collective interruption of the heat supply and/or hot tap water, you are entitled to compensation. Two conditions apply:

      - The outage lasted longer than 8 hours

      - It's not the first outage in 12 months

      You will not receive compensation for an outage that lasted less than 8 hours. In the event of a disruption of 8 to 12 hours, you will receive compensation of € 35.00. For every 4 hours that the disruption lasts longer, you are entitled to an additional amount of € 20.00.

      We will inform you about this fee, you do not have to submit a request for this yourself. The compensation is usually paid within 3 months and within 6 months at the latest.

      Individual malfunction

      Whether you are entitled to compensation in the event of an individual malfunction depends on the situation. If you believe that you are entitled to compensation due to a malfunction, you can contact us via our digital contact form. We will review your application and decide if you are entitled to compensation.
