Energy club calculation error?
currently on an Outfox the market tariff, looks like another Outfox tariff would be the best fit for me, however whilst I'm not great at maths, something definitely looks wrong with the projected saving of a new tariff (both higher standing charge and unit cost for electricity) vs. my current tariff. Any thoughts on how to…

British Gas tariff with Cheaper Energy Club
I've been trying to switch my BG tariff to the British Gas 15% cheaper through the Cheap Energy Club. It's not accepting my meter numbers that I have copied from my statement. The numbers contain letter and numbers and the site won't accept them. What can I do please? Also has anyone any thoughts on the E-on Next Smart…

Updating Cheap Energy Club current tariff
I am on the dual fuel, dual rate electricity variant of BG's 'Nov26 Collective' tariff. Some years ago, I was able to switch to a single rate electric tariff with BG, despite still having a dual rate meter. All worked well and I was later able to chose new tariffs with BG (via their website) and still remain on single rate…

British Gas Credit Not Refunded
Hi all - I'm a customer of British Gas, I have built up a credit of just over £2300 in credit. When my bills went up in the energy crisis to £250 per month, I kept it at that level which is why the funds have built up. I have contacted British Gas three times to request that £2000 is refunded to me but they keep promising…

E-on can't access smart meter after switch, now overcharging me
Having got an EV and home charger, I switched to E-On's "Next Drive Fixed V23" tariff, at 9p per KwH overnight. They say they can't connect to my smart meter (which worked fine with Octopus) and have stuck me on their basic tariff at 23.8p per KwH. The latest email said " "We'll be in touch to let you know what exactly…

Getting to provide Eon readings on statements
I recently signed up to an Eon electricity tariff that has peak and off peak charges. So during the weekdays it's really cheap working on the assumption that most adults are at work and not doing laundry, heating off etc. And in the morning and late afternoon through the evening (peak kitchen use and TV time) the charges…

Handover Meter Reading When On Half Hourly Data Billing
Not a current problem for me, but just a thought. If you are billed, by your current supplier, using half hourly data, isn't there a risk of being under/over charged if, when moving to a new supplier, the meter reading used by the Independent Data Collector is at variance with the actual reading on the date of the…

100Green
It's that time again to choose a new energy supplier for both gas and electric. Although not the cheapest option on Uswitch, they are the cheapest that don't have early exit fees on their tariffs. I've had a look on the review sites and they seem pretty good, anyone here have experience of 100Green?

Infrared Heating for Home
Not sure the best place for this and a quick search showed only posts from over 10 years ago for IR heating. I live in a flat in a converted church. Solar, heat pump and gas are all out of the question. We have old electric panel heaters (dunno if I'm using the right name really) but they are Consort, 2000KW I think and…
