Important information
Electricity and Gas is supplied by Tru Energy Ltd trading as truEnergy under a supply license issued by Ofgem. The supply contract is arranged through The Student Energy Group Ltd trading as TSEG, an agent of truEnergy.
Homebox is a third party intermediary and does not supply electricity or gas. We provide a bills management service; as part of this service when signing up to the Homebox Energy Unlimited tariff to enable access to this tariff we agree to manage the relationship with the Supplier and their agent on Your behalf.
We will set up an account with TSEG for your property who will transfer your Electricity Supply and any Gas Supply to TruEnergy. The account will be in our name (Billing Better Ltd); we will bill you each month and collect the agreed amount from your household e-money account.
You will make payments to Homebox and you are liable to pay Us for the total annual standing charge, in equal monthly payments. We receive a commission from the agent while you are on this tariff which is included in the Daily Standing Charge you pay.
Unlimited Energy is a more expensive way to pay for energy. The product serves a purpose to customers looking for a simple and fixed monthly payment but should not be used if you’re looking to save money and reduce your monthly outgoings. In order to cover the risk of higher energy consumption, Homebox charge an increased monthly payment amount to ensure that a flat monthly payment can be honoured throughout a tenancy.
