Energy payment problems
Find out more about paying bills when you share a home, paying for your bills through a pre-payment meter and what to do if you’re struggling to pay your energy bills.
Prepayment meters
Pay-as-you-go energy meters are called prepayment meters. If you have one, you pay for your gas and electricity before you use them.
How to avoid gas and electricity disconnection
Contact your energy supplier as soon as possible if you’re having problems paying your energy bills, otherwise you could risk being disconnected.
Energy costs in shared accommodation
Tenants who share accommodation are all responsible for paying for their energy bills on time.
