How can we help?

Payments

Why hasn’t my top-up appeared on my PAYG hub or 'my insite' account?

There may be times when we lose communication with your pay-as-you-go (PAYG) hub, often due to a broadband (ADSL line) outage, which prevents us from fully applying your payment to your account.

If you think a top-up may not have been registered on your PAYG account, please first check your PAYG hub to see if the top-up has been applied.

Guru & Secure customers: If your top-up is missing, you may need to manually enter your payment into your PAYG hub using the 20-digit payment code (Unique Transaction Reference Number or UTRN) found on your receipt. Instructions on how to perform a manual top-up onto your Guru Hub II, Guru Hub I or Secure Pipit 500 can be found below.

If your top-up shows on your PAYG hub but not on your 'my insite' account, please wait up to 24-hours for this to show. If your top-up still hasn't appeared on your balance and payment history, please contact our helpdesk.

KURVE customers: If you are a KURVE customer and received an email receipt following top-up but it still hasn't appeared on your account after one (1) hour, please get in touch with our helpdesk and we will investigate this for you.

How do I submit a manual meter reading if required?

If we are unable to obtain an actual reading from your meter and you have received an estimate bill as a result, we may ask you to provide us with a manual meter reading.

To do this you can submit your reading along with a photograph of your heat meter showing the latest read via our ‘Submit a meter read’ form.

Your heat meter can be found either inside or near your Heat Interface Unit (HIU), which is normally located within the utility cupboard. Some examples of what your heat meter may look like can be found below.


If you have a combined heating & hot water and cooling meter, you will be able to see your usage for both on the same meter.

Your meter may also display your energy consumption in megawatt-hour (MWh). If this is the case, please times your meter read by 1000 to convert it into kilowatt-hour (kWh) when submit your manual meter reading. This is because the bills we issue are based on kWh. For example, if your meter reads 0.123MWh, you would submit 123 under the 3 digits part of the form because 0.123MWh x 1000 = 123kWh.

Sometimes your energy meter may be located in a communal area, outside your property. If you need any help locating your energy meter, please contact your internal maintenance team. Please note, Insite Energy is not responsible for the installation or operation of your heat meter.

Why are you sending me to a different payment website?

Our customer portal, my insite, is a secure platform where you can pay your monthly bills if you are on credit billing, top-up your PAYG account, view your payment history, and access your account information. 

Once you have registered online, you will be able manage all your payments to Insite Energy at the click of a button.

How do I set up a standing order?

If you are on credit billing and would like to make regular payments onto your account without setting up a Direct Debit, you can set up a standing order.

A standing order is an agreement with your bank to pay a fixed amount to another person or business at regular intervals; whether that’s weekly, monthly, quarterly or yearly.

To set up a standing order to Insite Energy, you will need to contact your bank; either in person or through your online banking.

They will ask you for the name of the company you wish to pay, the sort code and account number of that company, as well as asking for a payment reference to accompany the standing order.

You will need to provide the below information when asked. Your 8-digit account number can be found on the top right corner of your bill.  

Bank: Lloyds Bank

Company Name: Insite Energy Ltd

Sort Code: 30-84-84

Account Number: 28037660

Reference: [Your Insite Energy account number]

When will I receive my bill?

If you’ve been signed up for monthly billing by your heat provider, you’ll receive your first bill from us after you’ve been in your home for more than a full month. You’ll normally receive your new bill within the first week of every month after that.

If you’ve been in your home for two months or more and still haven’t received a bill from us, please contact us to make sure we have the right information about your home.

Why can’t I set up an online account?
