Gas and Electric
We provide well-priced gas and electricity on easy payment plans which will be split evenly across the household. Your bills will be the same throughout the year so you don’t receive a massive bill for when everyone got chilly in November and turned the heating up instead of wearing a jumper. Happily, if we find that you have been thrifty and energy efficient and used less energy than you paid for, we will refund the difference. That could mean extra spends for your summer holiday.
TV license
Gripe all you want but if you watch, stream or download TV be it Netflix or standard ITV you need to pay for a TV license. Yes, even if no-one binge watches a box set on an actual TV you still need it. Let Glide sort it out for you and you won’t have to think about it for the rest of the year.
Water
When you’re hung-over and sitting in the bottom of the shower questioning your life choices as the water is soothing away your sins – it needs paying for. The steaming hot bath that you fall asleep in after a nasty day at the exam table isn’t free and the housemate battering on the door to get in isn’t going to go away any more than the bill will.
Telephone
It’s true that most students will use their mobile phones to keep in touch with family and friends. Maybe you are the traditional type and enjoy a landline, you could hate mobile phones and how much we have all become reliant on them or potentially the mobile signal in your house is rubbish. Whatever your reasons, and who are we to question, Glide can provide your home with a telephone line with calls at competitive prices.
Thousands of tenants use Glide to provide services, support and bill organisation. Students, house shares and landlords all love us for making bills simple and stress-free – so if you like the sound of what we do as a great student bills company, then get in touch today.
