Continue to siteWe offer a number of ways for you to top up your PAYG meter: online through my insite through single or automatic top-ups, via SMS or IVR, or if you prefer to top up in person, please visit your nearest PayPoint store.
Below you will find all of the information you need to pay for heating and hot water and to top up your Guru Hub, Secure Smart meter, or KURVE web-app in a way that works best for you.
You can choose to top-up through:
You can set up automatic top-ups for your heating and hot water via your my insite account. You can choose between 'balance-based' or 'date-based' auto top-ups.
A 'balanced based auto top-up' will take an amount of your choosing when your balance falls below a certain amount. e.g. Top up £20.00 when my balance reaches £10.00.
A 'date based auto top-up' will take a fixed amount from your nominated bank account on a specific date. e.g. Top up £20.00 on 1st of each month.
You can change the monthly amounts whenever you like via your payment account settings on my insite.
If you have any problems setting up automatic payments, please contact the dedicated support number for your building.
