If I’ve been disconnected because my credit ran out, how do I reconnect my supply again after I top up?
Once you’ve topped up enough to bring your balance above zero, you can reconnect your meter. Before reconnecting your gas supply, please make sure all gas appliances are switched off at the plug or electrical supply for safety.
How to find out your smart meter type
Your smart meter type should be printed on the front of your meter. If you can't see it, you can also find it out by looking at the meter serial number. The format for each smart meter number is below.
