Means more money.

I've just loaded my account up £250.

Re: UK Energy Prices
 

How long would that currently last you?

That would be 2.5 months for me which includes an overpayment ready for when the heating goes on sometime in October.

No idea I don't track it because it's depressing knowing the fact handouts have my bills high but that's another political story!

I just load my account up so nobody knocks my door, or call for that matter. I put £500 on in April which has seen me through until today where I've added £250.

Re: UK Energy Prices
 

I base it on my monthly direct debit which is currently £96 a month but I dont work from home so I imagine it would be alot more for people who do. I guess that'll rise another 20-30% when the heating is needed during the day when I'm home.

Re: UK Energy Prices
 

Mine is set by outfox at £175.
Its clearly too high as they have refunded me twice this year (when asked).
They seem reluctant to lower it though.

Re: UK Energy Prices
 

I miss the ability to easily change my direct debit amount like I could in Octopus, via the app or webpage.

I'm currently £178.60 in credit ready for the months that I need my heating on.

Re: UK Energy Prices
 

Its more work for them.
Their only rule is your balance must equal or exceed one months payment.
So twice in the last year I have requested refunds to remove the "excess" that had built up.
Perhaps most people dont bother. :shrug:

Re: UK Energy Prices
 

I just told them what I wanted my DD amended to, and they did it.

Re: UK Energy Prices
 

Before or after you told them how grumpy you are? :o:

Re: UK Energy Prices
 

I generally tell them what I'm willing to pay, not what their 'estimated' amount is. During the following discussion I calmly mention I can easily move somewhere else, it 'may' mean a slightly higher payment, but it won't be a payment they get.

Up to now, a fair DD amount has been agreed between both parties.
