I currently have my meters checked and pay by direct debit,but if i were to have card meters installed,which you top up yourself,would i be paying more for my Gas and electric? Ive heard some people say they think they do, but i need to know if this is true.Im with Powergen.

Direct Debit is the cheapest way to pay your utility bills.
Most gas and electricity suppliers will actually offer a small discount if you pay by D.D.

i think it all depends on how big your family is,obviously then you would use more gas & electric,in my house theres 6 of us i pay by DD,iv had a card meter i wasnt any better of,iv found by using energy bulbs throughout the house iv saved quite alot of money on my electric bills,
if your on your own id phone powergen up and ask them if you'd save any money by getting a card meter,im sure you do

If you pay by direct debt, then you save 5%, if you where to pay by meter card it would cost 5% service charge, to pay for meter

Well as a shop isn't going to sell a product for someone else (the power company) then they will take a small percentage for themselves. This small percentage will always be passed onto you in the cost of the powercard.
