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 payments for your heating and hot water by registering a debit or credit card with us. You can choose between Automatic Top-ups or Scheduled Payments.
‘Automatic Top-up’ - A payment is triggered when your balance falls below a set limit. When your balance reaches this limit, a top-up payment will automatically be taken from your registered debit or credit card. You can choose the minimum balance you’d like to maintain and how much money your meter will be topped up by, either £20 or £50, by visiting our ‘top-up online’ page.
‘Scheduled Payments’ - Your chosen amount will be taken from your registered debit/credit card on a day of the month that suits you best. This may mean that you build up some unused credit during warmer months, which is likely to even itself out during the colder months.
You can change the monthly amounts whenever you like via your payment account settings here.
