Frequently asked questions
What is a standing charge?
A standing charge is a fixed daily amount you pay for gas and electricity regardless of how much energy you use. It covers the cost of maintaining the network and keeping you connected. The widget shows typical current rates for both fuels.
How often are the standing charges updated?
The widget uses PowerGuardian's tariff assumptions, which we review monthly. When we update the figures, every embedded widget updates automatically.
Is this widget free to use?
Yes. It's free for non-commercial and editorial use on UK consumer websites, blogs, local authority pages, housing association sites and charities. The only requirement is that the 'Powered by PowerGuardian' attribution link stays visible and clickable.
How do I add it to my website?
Copy the iframe snippet on this page and paste it into your page's HTML where you want the widget to appear. It works in any CMS that allows custom HTML or embed blocks — WordPress, Squarespace, Wix, Ghost and more.
Does it work on mobile and in dark mode?
Yes. The widget is fully responsive, mobile-optimised and lazy-loaded, and it adapts to light and dark backgrounds so it blends with your site's theme.
