paypoint isnt a poblem kerry, every shop has them around my way :lol:

Good thing about pre paid is you are more aware of what you are using so as a result tend to save energy better!
And like people have also said you dont get a nasty surprise when a bill comes in!
Only thing i would say is look into the nearest pay point first as there is only 1 place we can top up within about a 5 mile radius which can be a pain in the arse sometimes

We moved into a house with an electric meter and £20 can last 6-7 weeks thats for a 2 bed semi. Not bad i think :)

You'll be cheaper with a normal setup & paying DD online!!

I found a meter in the house when i moved in :) so far so good.

havent used much money around a pound and thats since a few days ago :D

That cant be per month Adge, you mean per quarter yea?

i am tempted to get these put in! u can have them in for 6 months just to see if u save! i currently pay £100 for gas and electric! and iam hardly home!!

as said lots of hassle imo

cheaper and easier to just get a DD set up

Pre pay gas and electricity are much much more expensive than post pay.

Pre-pay menters mean you end up paying more for gas. They are a pain in the arse when they run out and your in the shower so no hot water!

But if you have normal meters and pay by DD you get DD discounts, not a hige amount but it all helps these days. As LiveLee said, as a normal user you will be looking at £30 a month for each fuel :thumbs:

If you ask them the gas board will come and put you a electric token (Quantum) meter in,

He means a card meter, pay as you go kinda thing

You cant have a gas supply to a house with no meter

makes sense now; no I havn't got one - I would assume they'd be more expensive per unit?

Used to live in a student house with one, pain in the arse when the power goes! But if it's a proper house and you keep on top of it you'll be fine, will keep you in track with your bills i suppose

Yeah i know all has them but i mean pay ones where you get a card to put money on then put the card into the meter :lol:

mine has anyway; I pay DD of £30 a month even though we use less than £1 per month at the moment, so we're building up a good credit level for when we move in

I thought all houses with gas/electric had meters?

anyone use any of the above, do yous like using them?

I hopefully pick my new house keys up tomorrow and was thinking of getting both put in to keep me on track of the bills :lol:
