Check the exact flat

Choba is split, so the flat's meter number is the only way to know.

  1. Get the meter number. It’s on the meter and on any token receipt.

    “Hello, before I pay for the flat, please send me the prepaid meter number (or a photo of a recent token receipt) so I can confirm its electricity band. Thank you.”

    Send on WhatsApp (opens WhatsApp)

  2. PHED has no online lookup. Ask customer care with the meter number (phed.com.ng (opens in a new tab)).

  3. Or read a token receipt: a tariff code starting with A (e.g. ‘A-Non MD’) means Band A.

A listing can say Band A for a flat that's on another feeder. Ask for the meter number before paying.
