Competition Amongst Energy Companies
Is it just me who thinks that there must be something seriously wrong with competition in the energy sector when my cheapest supplier of gas and electricity is British Gas? Ofgem claim that competition in the sector is fine because many people are switching supplier but surely that means nothing if there are only a few…

Changing from dual fuel to 2 separate?
I am currently with Powergen duel fuel and have been for maybe 3 years so think its time for a change! I would like to a green electricity supplier, and a separate gas supplier and will probably go through different switch methods to get the best cashback. How will this work with regard to timing? Will I leave both at the…

Is it possible?
Hi There I'm with EDF Energy on their E7 tariff. I'm not really sure it's the best one for me. I'm thinking of calling them and asking which tariff would work out cheapest for me based on my past 12mths usage. Do you think they'll be willing to tell me this? I'm due to move out within the next 6mths or so so don't really…

Countrywide energy
I have just been looking at the comparison websites (all of them!) and my cheapest 'quote' came from the energyhelpline. It was for a company called Countrywide Energy, I have never heard of them and none of the other comparison sites seem to have them on their sites, nor can I find a website for them :confused: . But…

British Gas Fix & Fall offer
Has anyone else been contacted by British Gas about their Fix & Fall offer? I'm a bit confused as to what to do. This is how it works (I think): For the first year, (until 30/12/07) the prices for electric are 5.290 per unit for the first 1143kWh per quarter, then 2.988p per unit. Gas is 18.086 per unit for the first…

Eco 7 - What is it & Should I be on it?
Hi There I moved into my present property nearly 3yrs ago after having spent 7yrs living abroad. When I moved in the old owner called up the utilities suppliers, gave them the meter readings and then handed the phone over to me to inform them of my details. My electricity is with EDF and I'm on a Econ 7 tariff where it's…

What happens when I move house?
In the process of selling our house. Just want to re-confirm I am on the right track. 1) On the day of the handover I should take the new owner and read all the meters. 2) I should then call the relevant companies and give them the meter readings and wait for my bill which I assume will be taken by DD as this is how I pay…

British Gas Direct Debit
I currently have 3 DDs with British Gas (Gas, Electric and Boiler Service). They have set up a new DD without informing me, can they do this? They did it once before and put it down to a revamp of the billing system (they then deleted an old one)

energyhelpline.com - why are my results like this?
Just did a check on erergyhelpline.com to see if I still have the cheapest gas and electric provider. I use EDF (was SWEB) for both gas and electric and the search result said my savings would be £-73, i.e. a loss if I switch to Atlantic Electric & Gas, the next best to what I have. So I must be on the cheapest already,…
