Checking your balance and low‑creditalerts
Seeing how much credit you’ve got left is easy –it’s shown right
on your IHD home screen.

Reconnecting your energy
If your credit runs out (and you’ve already used your emergency
credit), your energy might be disconnected. If that happens, the
first thing to do is top-up in your usual way.
To reconnect your electricity on your IHD

CONTINUE and your IHD will show a message to say your
electricity is reconnected. Press OK to return to the home screen.
You’ll need to reconnect your gas on your gas meter
See our full instructions on reconnecting your gas in just a few
steps on your gas meter.
Quick Start Guide
Setting up an energy budget
If you’ve got a budget in mind for your energy use, your IHD can
help you stick to it.
To set up individual budgets for electricity and gas, press MENU
then BUDGET. Here, you can set up a daily, weekly, monthly or
yearly budget for each.
Choose the fuel to budget for and press CHANGE. Next, choose
a duration for your budget with the time period button and set
your budget value with the arrow keys.
Once you’ve finished, press SET and OK. You’ll now see a budget
line on the home screen energy use rings –to help you track how
much energy you’ve used against your budget.
Using your IHD to saveenergy
Ever wondered how much it costs to run your fridge? Or keep the
TV on standby? Your IHD can reveal all, and help you save money
by cutting unnecessary energy waste.
Seeing your live energy use
Simply tap SO FAR TODAY until you see USAGE NOW. This is how
much energy your home is using right now.
Spotting wasted energy
Simply unplug your IHD (it has a rechargeable battery) and make
a note of your live energy use before and after switching each
appliance on and off. You won’t need to keep them switched off
forlong. You might find you could save energy by switching your

10 11
TV off at the wall instead of leaving it on standby. Or that you
could save energy by only boiling as much water as you need,
rather than the whole kettle each time.
