Step 1: Make a note of your meter readings. There will be several readings, keep pressing the button and make a note of them all. The meter readings will also be found on the front page of your inventory.
Step 2: Find out who your provider is, please have you address and postcode.
- Electricity this can be found on: http://supplier.westernpower.co.uk/
- Gas please call: 0870 608 1524
Step 3: Call your utility provider (either electric, or gas, or both) and give them the requested information. Telephone numbers can be found on the internet.
Step 4: Your utility provider will give you a unique reference number and will tell you which local shop (i.e. Co-Op) can give you a utility key for electric or utility card for gas. This will also clear any debt on the meter prior to you taking over the tenancy. You will then need to add money to the key or card to operate.
Step 5: Insert the key into your meter and you are ready to go.
Step 6: Keep an eye on your credit level – you will need to top up when you are running low.

Swift have been exceptionally helpful and professional throughout the process especially Gary Davies who has kept us fully informed throughout the whole process. Gary goes the extra mile and even answered our queries whilst on holiday rather than keep us waiting.. would highly recommend Swift!!!

Hi Wanted to leave a review and show appreciation. Recently sold our house and were looking for a rental in very short notice. At the time it was a really stressful period as we were weeks away from completing. Ben provided a professional service that made the process really straightforward...

Gary was very helpful throughout. From our first viewing through to the exchange of contracts. Nothing was too much hassle for him, and maintained regular contact providing timely updates.

I have used Swift Relocations for many years. I have found their staff to be professional, courteous, helpful & fair. They have helped me comply with new landlord regulations and grow my business, providing an excellent service.
