EDF Energy prepayment meters help you to manage your energy use and control your spending. Prepayment meters allow you to use energy on a pay as you go basis and can be topped up with a key or card. You can add funds to your prepayment key or card at any PayPoint, Payzone outlet or Post Office. You control how much energy you use and how much you spend – meaning you won’t have to worry about overspending on energy. No need to submit any meter readings and you won’t receive any quarterly bills. Emergency credit facility gives you peace of mind. Pay the same for gas and electricity as our billed customers. A great way to pay off outstanding energy bills. A few things you need to remember:1. If you leave home for several days, you must remember to charge your key or card, and credit your prepayment meter. This is because your credit is used to pay for a standing daily charge, as well as your daily energy use and any debt repayments. If you don’t charge your meter enough before going away, your credit may run out and any appliances you’ve left on (e.g. freezers) may switch off. 2. Always use the prepayment key or card supplied by EDF Energy. Using a key or card from a different supplier means you won’t be able to take advantage of our great prices. We also won’t be able to offer you the great tariffs and discounts available to prepayment electricity customers. 3. Please only use a PayPoint, Payzone outlet or Post Office to charge your key or card. 4. Always decline any offer to buy prepayment credit on your doorstep. There have been reports of fraudulent activity, where prepayment electricity meter customers have been offered discounted top up credit by individuals posing as doorstep sellers. This credit is illegal and is not authorised by EDF Energy. Any customer identified as having bought illegal prepayment credit will still be liable to their energy company for the full credit value – in effect causing them to have to pay twice, once to the unauthorised salesperson and then the full amount again to the supplier. 5. Make sure to read our energy supply Terms and Conditions before getting started. 6. As of 1 November, if you’re using a prepayment meter to pay a debt then provided it’s under £500 you can switch energy suppliers and transfer the debt. Remember you will have to carry on using a prepayment meter with your new supplier until your debt is paid off.
