How do I power up my new home in Gourock?
Are you new to Gourock? If you are, welcome home! Moving house and a new town can be a huge point of change in your life. So, because of that, we want to let you in on a bit of information about where you're moving to. You never know, this information might even make you feel more at home.
Set up Scottish Power as your new supplier in Gourock
When moving to any city, such as Gourock, it can be difficult to get your head around all the things that have to be done. But, no need to worry, we have all the information you need.
Like with any big move, there are some steps that you need to complete before leaving your old home. For that reason, we have prepared a moving house checklist so that you won't leave anything behind. So, let's begin:
- ๐จ The most important thing to do before moving house is to take a meter reading so that you are not paying for energy that you haven't used.
- โฝ๏ธ After you have found your meter reading, it's time to sort out your Meter Point Reference Number (MPRN).
- ๐ฐ Once your MPRN is sorted, then you are clear to move without having to worry about paying for energy that you didn't use.
How do I manage an energy transfer in Gourock?
In most cases, you can keep the same supplier when moving house, if you so wish. On our website, we offer a guide on how to manage an energy transfer. However, in this section, we will explain a few factors that can affect whether you will be able to keep your supplier or not. Such factors include:
- ๐ฐ If your new property has a prepayment meter or not
- ๐ If you have moved far away from your original residence
- ๐ก Whether your new property uses gas, electricity, or dual fuel
- ๐ก Whether you have upgraded/downgraded the size of your home.
- ๐จโ๐ป The estimated energy consumption in your new home
All these factors affect the tariffs that will be available to you in your new home. When you move, especially if Gourock is far away from your original location, then it is possible that your tariff will be much more expensive than it previously was.
So, if your bill goes up in cost, we highly recommend that you switch energy suppliers and look at the best deal for your area.

There are 8 gas distribution networks which are managed by 4 different gas distribution companies. Each company manages a different region. Customers do not usually have to get in touch with their gas distribution company, since suppliers are usually the point of contact.

Distribution network operators are regional, so different parts of the UK have different operators. That being said, we believe that Gourockians should have all the information and contact details about their DNO available to them.
What to do if you experience a power cut in Gourock?
The first thing to do in a power cut is to not panic. It is only a matter of time until the power is turned back on.

If you are wondering what you should do in a power cut, we offer a complete guide in our article here: What to do in a power cut.
However, for the purposes of this section, we will explain the basics of what not to do when the power is out:
- ๐ Don't open the fridge. Frozen and refrigerated food can defrost to dangerous temperatures. So, it is best to keep the meat on ice and maintain a cool temperature in the fridge, if possible.
- ๐ฝ Donโt flush the toilet or take a shower. Believe it or not, your plumbing uses electricity and can easily get backed up if used during a power outage.
