How to Switch Electricity Supplier with a Prepayment Meter
Complete guide on switching suppliers with a prepayment meter and accessing better deals
Switching Suppliers with a Prepayment Meter
Many people with prepayment meters assume they cannot switch suppliers, but this is not true. You can switch electricity suppliers even if you have a prepayment meter, and doing so can help you access better rates and deals.
Prepayment meters work by allowing you to pay for electricity in advance by topping up your meter with a key or card. While prepayment tariffs are often more expensive than credit meter tariffs, switching suppliers can still help you find better rates.
Keep Your Prepayment Meter
You can switch suppliers while keeping your prepayment meter. Your new supplier will take over the meter and update it with their rates. Any credit on your meter will be refunded by your old supplier.
Switch to Credit Meter
Consider switching to a credit meter for better rates. Many suppliers offer credit meter installation, which can help you access cheaper tariffs and save money long-term.
