  • The answer would be almost anybody, pre pay meters are expensive. I would switch to a normal meter from your current supplier, then wait for a full quarter so that you have an idea of how much energy you use. (bear in mind that we are coming up to the summer so if your bill is £100 for the quarter May - July call it not £400 for the whole year but £600 and set up your Direct Debit accordingly)
    Unless it is damaged or discontinued - ignore any discount of over 25%
