How the Bills Lite refund works

Bills Lite gives you a defined annual energy allowance. What happens at the end of your tenancy depends on how much your house actually uses.

You Get an Annual Allowance

Your package includes a defined energy usage limit for the year, based on your house size.

We Measure Your Usage

Throughout the year, usage is tracked via meter readings.

Refund or Final Bill

Use less than your limit? We'll refund the difference. Exceed it? We'll adjust your payments.

If you use LESS than your limit

We calculate the cost of the energy you didn't use and refund that amount split between each housemate at the end of your tenancy. You can track your usage through meter readings you supply in the Housr app.

If you use MORE than your limit

If your usage shows us that you're likely to go over, we'll increase your monthly costs to ensure you don't get a large final bill at the end of your tenancy. To avoid this, monitor your meter readings during the year through the Housr app.

What students say about Housr

Which package suits me?

Bills Lite is the most affordable student bills package for houses that use energy sensibly. Here's how to know if it's right for your house.

Bills Lite is ideal if...

Your house is generally mindful of energy use โ€” turning off lights, not heating unused rooms, and not running appliances around the clock. You want the lowest possible monthly base cost with the upside of a potential refund if you stay under your limit. You're happy to submit meter readings regularly.

Consider Bills Unlimited if...

Your house runs energy-intensive appliances, you study from home a lot, or you simply want guaranteed peace of mind with zero risk of a year-end bill. Bills Unlimited costs slightly more per month but removes the risk of overage. Learn about Bills Unlimited

Typical energy use comparison

Bills Lite is calibrated to cover moderate usage โ€” if your house runs low, the refund potential is real. For example, for a 4-bed property we set the annualised limit at 2,880 kWh for electricity and 12,600 kWh for gas. If your property is electric only, then the electricity limit is 6,336 kWh.

Save more with smart habits

Small changes make a big difference to your refund: turn appliances off at the wall when you're not using them, save on lighting with LED bulbs, and remember that a full-load dishwasher uses less energy than hand-washing.
