Some more information about EDF top ups
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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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 authorized 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 unauthorized salesperson and then the full amount again to the supplier.
- Make sure to read our energy supply Terms and Conditions before getting started.
- 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.
Once your prepayment meter has been installed and we’ve sent you your free energy key or card, EDF Energy prepayment couldn’t be easier. See our guide on how to use your prepayment meter.
How it works
Top up your prepayment card or key at a PayPoint, Payzone outlet or at your nearest Post Office. Remember to keep your receipt as proof of purchase and if it carries a ‘Credit Failed’ message ask the retailer to check why your card or key hasn’t been credited. Depending on where you live, you can top up any amount from £1 to £49 in a single transaction. You can do multiple top-ups to the value of £250.
Once you’ve topped up, put your charged card or key into your prepayment meter. It will only work in your meter and will show you how much money you have left, how much energy you’ve used and what your current meter reading is.
Remember: never buy credit from a door-step seller – it’s illegal.
What does my gas prepayment meter display tell me?
Summary
- A gas prepayment meter will give you all the information you need about the credit and debt on your meter, and the regular payments we take from it.
- You generally get all the information you need from nine of the available screens (see table below).
- To get to most screens, just press and hold the red button until you hear a beep; then keep on pressing the red button until you get to the right screen (see more below).
- You’ll need your card in the meter to access some of the screens (see table below).
- This information is for prepayment meters only; it’s not for pay-as-you-go smart meters.
