We’ve taken a sample EDF
Energy bill and shown you where you'll find the key information.
This sample EDF Energy bill
may not look exactly like yours
(bill info varies based on your meter type and your method of payment of the
edf energy bill), but the format will be similar.
The main info on your EDF bill
Charges, balance and credit / QR code
A: Your
balance will inform you if you're in debit or credit to EDF. Knowing this can
be a good indicator of whether or not your direct debit is at the right level
to cover your energy usage.
If you're amounting credit
(CR) during winter months, it's likely you should be paying a lower direct
debit amount. If you're in debit to your supplier in summer months, you'll
accrue an even larger debt as you head into winter when your usage increases.
Your supplier may automatically increase your direct debit amount in this
instance.
Supplying regular meter
readings keeps your balance as accurate as possible.
B: This
is an example QR code you would find on your bill. Your bill's unique code
contains information about your tariff and usage.
Plan details and annual usage
C: Your
tariff name could quickly flag whether or not you're on your supplier's often
expensive default tariff (standard variable tariff). EDF's standard variable
tariff is called "Standard". You'll also need your current tariff's
name for a comparison.
D: This
is the date your current plan ends. After this point you'll be rolled onto a
tariff chosen by your supplier, which could cost you more. You should switch
again onto a fixed plan at this point to avoid overpaying. Standard plans or
rollover tariffs do not have exit fees.
E: If
your plan has an exit fee, you may need to pay the stated amount if you switch
to another plan before your current plan ends.
From 49 days before your
plan's end date, this fee is waivered.
F: This
your annual usage in kilowatt hours. This is usually estimated based on
previous meter readings. Uswitch can use this figure to calculate how much you
would pay for the next 12 months on different plans.
G: Your
electricity supply number (MPAN) and gas supply number (MPRN) are displayed at
the bottom of your bill. Your MPAN is the one starting with an S, and the MPRN
is simply a string of 10 numbers.
How do I
pay my EDF Energy bill?
How you pay your gas and
electricity bill will depend on your chosen payment method. If you have
paperless billing and an online account, you can pay your bill online.
If you have opted for
"pay on receipt", than you can pay your bill by sending payment by
post, or in person at the post office or at a Payzone facility.
You can also pay over the
telephone by contacting EDF Energy directly.
