During the year, you may find your account is in credit - particularly over the summer months when you use less energy. We recommend keeping this credit on your account to pay for the extra energy you'll use over the winter and avoid your account going into debit later in the year.
We automatically refund the money into your bank account at the end of the payment year if:
- Your account is more than £100 in credit, and
- We've got an accurate meter reading.
If your account is less than £100 in credit, we automatically put this money towards next year's bills. This helps keep your monthly payments as low as possible.
If however you would still like to get a refund before the end of the plan year, just:
- Log into your online account.
- Select the account you want a refund for, by clicking the appropriate 'manage account' link, this will take you to your account summary page.
- From here select the 'Payments' option, from the left hand navigation menu.
- Then select the 'Manage Direct Debit' option
- Now you can request a refund, if appropriate.
This will allow you to refund any credit you may have on your account. The refund will be in your bank account within 4 working days.
If you haven't got an online account with us, it's easy to register for one now.
