EquiGas & EquiPower
Have just done a comparison search on Energyhelpline for my Mother in Law who uses pre-payment meters with PowerGen Age Concern & the recommendation is to change to EquiGas & EquiPower by EBICo Ltd. Energyhelpline say they have no customer service information about this supplier so I'm a little unsure wether to take the…

Help! Changing from prepayment to billed elec
I'm renting at the moment and we use a prepayment for the electric. I would like to change it to a monthly billing system, but I was wondering if we need any cosmetic changes to the house to do this? Or is it just a quick thing that requires no building work?

The advice that I have been given is to lock your Gas and Electricity prices now It is possible to get out of lock-in's so don't be…

Npower Complaints - where to ?
I was told that there is some sort of overseeing body that scares the hell out of suppliers. Does anyone know what it is ? I have been messed around like you wouldn't believe by Npower & I very much want to put a complaint in to the relevant place. The final straw was when they changed me from fixed direct debit to varied…

Electricity costs??
We've lived in a 2-bed council house for 2.5 years. Since moving in the electric bill has gone from £35pm to £50pm, and today they want to increase it to £90pm! I think this is ridiculous, but am I out of touch with reality? We have electric heaters, these are only on at night, and apparently we make a payment on top of…

We will need a new meter but that is at no charge to us.…

Switching suppliers. Are there other ways than switchsites
I find these sites unhelpful. At least for electricity. At the moment I'm with Powergen and I'm paying the following: -10.48 P/KWH daytime -8.6 P/KWH day secondary units. Can somebody explain me what this is? Weekend tariff perhaps? -3.35 P/KWH night When I use a switch site, they ask me for my usage. My partner and I both…

£300 for 2 months electricity??
I have been in my one-bed little house for a couple on months now and already have paid out about £250/£300 on a e-energy (or whatever it is) prepaid meter. I don't have gas so everything is on electricity, and I do understand it is winter, but the heating is only on when I am at home (eg. 4 hours in the night) so I am…

PowerGen again
Now have a letter from them with a refund cheque. Cheque is for £30 less than I worked out. No bill, no info online, no nothing... Phoned them up. They estimated the final readings (despite my telling them the actual ones) and they were well high. After giving the correct readings I tried asking why I had not had a bill. I…
