A smart meter in prepay mode and the smart meter display - also known as in-home display, or IHD - can help you see what you’re spending and when you need to top up.
Our leaflet addresses the myths around smart meters and speaks to the many benefits including:
Flexibility in topping up: bills will no longer be based on an estimate, and instead on how much energy the person is actually using
Tracking how much credit is left: The smart meter display could help you or someone in your community avoid going into emergency credit, or having their energy go off when the meter needs topping up
Feel more in control: A smart meter can’t automatically save you money, but your smart meter display can help you see at a glance how much energy you’re using and make choices that could help you use less, like switching to low energy lightbulbs or lowering the flow temperature on your boiler.
