Understanding equaliser and getting started

What is Equaliser?

 Equaliser is a payment method which allows you to spread the cost of your yearly electricity or gas bill into twelve equal, monthly direct debit payment amounts. We'll calculate your total electricity costs or total gas costs for the year based on the following:

Your previous electricity and/or gas usage, Your electricity and/or gas price plan, We'll also include a 10% contingency to allow for any electricity and/or gas price changes, changes in weather or other factors. - Your monthly payment is this total divided by 12.

 

Will I still get a bill every 2 months if I sign up to Equaliser?

Yes, you will still continue to receive your electricity and/or gas bill every 2 months, which will show your payments and the balance remaining on your bill. *At the end of every year we'll amend your usual monthly payment to match your energy usage.

 

What are the benefits of Equaliser for me?

Equaliser is our fixed monthly direct debit payment option. Now you can split the cost of your annual electricity or gas bill into twelve equal monthly direct debit payment amounts. This gives you more control over your bill. You get to select your preferred monthly direct debit payment date, between the 1st and 28th of a given month.

If there is any balance, owed to you or by you, this will be brought forward and spread evenly over your next twelve monthly payments.
