Final Readings used for switch

Both companies used the submitted electricity reading, but for gas, they did not use the reading I provided. OVO decided to use a reading higher than what I provided, overestimating my usage by £78, whilst Outfox…

Fuse Energy, anybody with them?
As they were being mentioned on another thread I thought I would take a look and sure enough very cheap SC for electricity and discounted unit rate by the looks of it. Personally happy with Octopus and our Tracker/Agile seasonal hop-skip-jump but it's always nice to see if the upstairs companies are getting any traction…

Fuse Energy - Warm Home Discount Scheme?
Do you know if Fuse Energy is part of the Warm Home Discount Scheme? I'm on the lookout for a new fixed-rate electricity contract since my tracker deal with Octopus just finished. I'm hoping to find a supplier that offers this scheme, or maybe there are other companies out there with solid fixed contracts?

fix not a fix
When is an energy fix not a fix? When you choose Eon Next Smart Saver Fixed 24m V1 I chose this tariff thinking it was fixed (would I be forgiven for thinking Fixed means fixed?) Beware MSErs. Also says Fixed term ends 28/8/2028 When talking to Eon rep who was great btw it means you're fixed (stuck) o a tracker for 24m

Refund of account credit
Hi, are there any rules/best practice guidelines for energy companies on refunding all (or part) of their customers’ credit balances? My experiences vary from EDF who were happy to adjust a direct debit and refund part of a credit balance to Ecotricity who would only refund by billing for the period up to your request and…

Another Solar Thread
Evening all I've had three quotes back from some providers recommended by Solar Sherpa, and I'm trying to get some feedback from people on the system, the equipment, battery sizing and of course the costs!

Unable to switch tariff due to incorrect meter classification
Octopus became our supplier in 2021 and failed to notify us that, (according to them), our home electricity meter was classified as commercial not domestic. This is despite our having lived in the detached house for 38 years with no commercial use ever and no previous supplier questioning this misclassification. The…

Octopus Tracker
I just wondered about people's experiences with this tariff and whether they feel they are winners or losers. I got a quote from them yesterday, and I have to say I find the numbers highly misleading. The figures are very attractive, beating even the good fixed rate tariff I got from Avro, but presumably based on an…
