The co-op in Wick does so if your local store has a pay point I should expect they do that too. Nothing worse than realising you need leccy on a Sunday! :eek:

I am actually planning a change as my electric has gone through the roof on the meter and I have no idea why. Time for meter to go I think.

we just got our meter changed the other day to the new key meter and i have noticed it is costing a good bit more a day to run, dont think i am going to like this new way.

Yes they do.We have a key metre and can put up to 20 a week on it and still ahve to getmore and we have nothing plugged in more than anyone else...The machines are a rip off and wuld advise many to go back to quartely billing..Cheaper in the long run......

I'm putting in £20+ a week and I have one storage heater on, a panel heater on two hours a day and hot water plus the other usual household equipment, I'm extremely energy conscious and it's still costing me a fortune and our home is freezing. :( Hurry up Caithness Heat and Power!

Could take while..We were supposed to have it in last year but there are problems with planning..If you want any info on this you will need to contact them about it...I only contacted them to find out if and when we were getting it in as it will only cost us 9.65 a week to heat it up and we have 14 radiators...alot cheaper than what we pay for our gas to heat it up..Should ave left the coal fire in but then that would not be green....

Since getting the Key meter i've noticed an increase in my electric, currently burning anything from £35-£40 per week.
