A new card can be bought at most shops with a paypoint symbol. Cost of cards is £4.00 and a store can be located at www.paypoint.com/locator - You’ll then need to register your new card to the meter and then purchase a top up.

Code 03

This code may indicate ‘Credit expired’.

Credit only lasts for 6 months on the card. Please send your card into our offices with a covering letter giving your name, address, contact number and brief explanation of the issue with the card and request a refund for this amount. The firmus energy address can be found here
