Why British Gas jus don't tell you to switch?It would save time.
I have been with British Gas for a long time now. In 2004 I tried to make them change my prepayment electricity meter for a credit meter, I could only be there one afternoon a week, so I had appointments for friday afternoon, 7 times. 7 times because no one came to change my meter. At the end I was talked to like dirt by…

Switch now dilemma
I know MSE recommends to switch NOW, and I have done the comparisons using the screenscrapers that Martin recommends. My only concern is that the better options appear to be either n-power for both or (bizarrely) n-power for gas and British Gas for electricity. But as a result of recent increases, I am in a capped prices…

If on Economy 7 does daytime electricity cost more?
I have been trying to find out the answer to this question for some time! We have Economy 7 but the storage heaters we used packed up one by one some time ago. We now only heat water overnight. Are we being charged more than the standard rate for daytime electricity? If so, what is the best way to deal with this. I have…

Hello, I have just discovered we are spending a fortune on heating, mixture of wood, coal and several free standing oil filled radiators. Don't mind spending on wood and coal as I love the open fires but does anyone know of an energy efficient electric heating system? Another problem is the 2 teenagers leaving their…

First time chaning suppliers question
I'm interested in changing supplier but I've never done it before and am unsure about a few things. I'm currently with EDF who have just whacked up my gas DD due to the fact they didn't bother to update our readings for ages which means we currently have an outstanding balance with them, if I change will this be taken on…

Really cross British Gas Electric
I went thru one of the comparison companies in Dec to switch my Electic to Briish Gas. It was supposed to be a tariff that was online billing and one months cashback and prices frozen till 2007. Today I had a paper bill sent to me, none of the price per KWH matched what I was supposed to be on, miles higher. I called and…

I have just been to a couple of comparison sites…

Arrears (Long Story)
I'm with Scottish Power and I'm all electric. I've always been with them and about 12 years ago they installed a pre pay meter until my arrears had been paid. After about 2 years I had them remove this and put me on a monthly payment scheme. Thats where the problem started, since then I think I've only had one bill that…

Are we all being conned? Should we change?
I'm a new reader to this site and am finding my way around. I had a big shock today in that our gas & electricity bill has come in at £428 for the quarter. I thought I'd check the meter readings and the gas was more. I'm not worried that the bill will go up but it sparked a chain reaction in that I looked at MSE & read all…

Switching comparison help
I've just entered my kwh per year for both gas and electric into energyhelpline and uswitch. Uswitch had powergen as my cheapest which is who i'm with and energyhelpline had british gas as cheaper by £6 so not worth switching. But both sites put my annual usage at £560 so approx £47 a month but i actually pay £97. Part of…

British Gas "rebate" for those on benefits
:mad: After following the tip, ref the above, last November my mother (a pensioner) discovered she was entitled to a rebate on her gas bill as she has a rebate on her council tax. We applied by telephone & was told she was entitled to £20 which would be sent by cheque - unless of course she paid by DD - in which case the…

London Energy Online price rises
Got a letter stating price rise for online dual fuel effective 13th March. So assume comparison sites (which are the only way to get the cheaper 'online' tariff) have already taken it into account. They don't give %, so I had to work them out. For reference the Midlands online dual-fuel prices: Feb 2005 prices (when we…
