    Pay up or change supplier.

    Some suppliers will do it for free (make their other customers pay for it), so you don't have to.

    Are you electricity only or dual fuel? Paying and switching to a direct debit tariff on a credit meter will save you £45 in less than two winter months (unless you are wanting to not use heating.)
