It’s common to see changes in your balance even when you're not actively using energy, and this can vary depending on the season.
In the summer, you might notice that your gas meter balance changes, even if you're not using much gas. This is due to the daily standing charge, which is deducted from your balance each day, regardless of how much energy you’re using.
In the winter, your gas may be used more quickly due to heating demands, and electricity consumption may increase with the use of electric heating or additional lighting. This can cause your balance to deplete faster.
To help avoid running low, it’s a good idea to keep a balance on your meter to cover these seasonal conditions. Keeping a small buffer on your meter helps avoid any gaps in supply.
