    Hi,

    I'd ask your supplier what the criteria is to remove the pre-payment meters, they may charge you and request you to set up Direct Debit.

    If the meters are removed, I'd then look at online tariffs as these are normally the most competitive.

    Yes but the current suppliers will most likely credit check and charge for installing credit meters.

    However if youre refurbing the property one idea is to ask the current supplier to remove the meters, refurb the property, look around for the best deal and negotiate credit meters to be installed with the supplier you choose.
