Prepay meters new flat

Snakeeyes21

Im moving to a new flat in a couple of weeks that has prepay meters. Ive got them in my current flat but i stuck with the previous supplier BG for both gas and electric as it was only a 6 month lease.
can i switch to ebico straight away and use the previous tenants card and key untill the ebico ones arrive?
or do i have to set up accounts with the current suppliers wait for their keys and cards then switch to ebico

You have to set up accounts with the current suppliers first. Make sure you contact them a few days before so that your key will arrive to reset any debt on the meter.

you might want to check a comparrison site on electric ebico are often not the cheapest even on prepay.
ebico are cheapest for gas on prepay

I second that Ebico are hard to beat on payg gas prices, but not often the cheapest for electric,

don't be too concerned by standing charges either, look at total cost for the year
