Meralco Re-launches Its Digital Properties

Meralco website

In an effort to improve their customer relations, Meralco revamped its online services through its user-friendly website, apps and social network sites.

Customers can now interact with Meralco online through the Meralco website, Facebook fan page, Twitter account and YouTube channel. With these online presence, Meralco can better serve their customers to the fullest by providing real time response, assistance and information.



The new Meralco website guides visitors to two main sections:

1. FOR CUSTOMERS - a section that provides the answers to customer concerns including electricity consumption, bill-related matters, and new account applications.
2. THE COMPANY- the section for corporate reports, business partnerships, stakeholder relations, and investor information.

I really find the Meralco E-Bill app and the Meralco Appliance Calculator or AppCal very useful.

With the Meralco Appliance Calculator or AppCal, customers can compute and gauge their electricity consumption based on the different appliances they use at home. You can now compute the consumption of your electric appliances per hour, day, week, and month.

This app can be accessed through the Meralco website, or downloaded from the site as an app for smart phones and tablets.

With the Meralco E-Bill app, customers can access their monthly bills online.

Meralco’s social network pages offer different features:

1. Twitter @meralco provides round-the-clock customer service
2. Meralco Facebook page is the hub for the latest campaigns where you can learn more about the company’s services, innovations, and CSR projects.
3. Meralco's YouTube channel hosts Meralco’s television commercials and special video features.

Aside from these digital properties, Meralco is laying out the groundwork for innovations: Wider Power Distribution, Prepaid Electricity, Meralco Power Generation, the Automated Area Network, and Meralco-Powered Electric Vehicles are just the start of greater things to come, for a brighter future for the Philippines.

These digital properties where presented during the Blogger's Bright Quiz Night, hosted by Gabe Mercado, last October 6 at the Lighthouse. It's a night filled with informative fun. Of course, I enjoyed the night with my group mates (even if our team did not win.)

Meralco My Appliance Calculator

Electricity bills can make anyone cringe. Not just during summer where air conditioner is used for more hours a day, but also during the holiday season when Christmas lights are lit for more days and electric cookwares are used for extensive period.

How much is your monthly electric bill? Do you want to manage your electric bills better and know how much a particular appliance will consume electricity?

Now you can do this using the Meralco Appliance Calculator (MAC).

This is our Electricity Budget Buddy!

My Appliance Calculator is designed to be an electricity bill management tool of Meralco residential customers to help them: a) better manage their electric consumption and their electric bill; b) make wiser decisions in buying home appliances, and; c) get home energy efficiency tips that are customized to their home electricity consumption.

The “My Appliance Calculator” allows you to know the estimated consumption of your home appliances. 

The “My Bill Manager” allows you to get an estimate of the household’s total electric consumption cost, know which appliances consume most electricity and get energy efficiency tips.

Also, if you need to target a certain monthly bill amount, use the "Target bill Estimator" to know how many kilowatt hours you can consume. 

M.A.C. is a good way of checking what appliances contribute to our electricity bills. It is easy-to-use and a valuable tool for all consumers.

Anyone can access the M.A.C. from Meralco’s website: www.meralco.com.ph.

Try this and see for yourself!


[An Afternoon of Pampering]

It's good that I got invited to try this application. I honestly didn't know that M.A.C. existed way back 2003 and was just reintroduced.

I enjoyed the food from Bo's Coffee and the nail reflexology treatment at Beauty and Butter, located at the 5th level of SM Megamall.





Bloggers were provided with iPads so we can test the MAC. Everyone enjoyed the game while being pampered at the same time!
