💨 Abstract

Households with prepayment meters are advised to keep topping up during summer to avoid unexpected bills in autumn. Citizens Advice warns that daily standing charges continue even when energy use is low. Ignoring these charges can lead to significant deductions from credit when heating is resumed. Standing charges vary by supplier and tariff. From winter, customers can access "no standing charge" tariffs, but they must consider which option best suits their needs.
