confused! Winter bill increase after switch
Hi, this is my first post ever, and I apologise in advance if this thread is repeated elsewhere, though I checked a few pages down and couldn't spot it.

Meter Readers...

I was expecting a knock, but after several seconds, I went out and seen that this guy had opened my side gate & let himself into the back garden. Now, after…

British Gas nightmare: HO tel number?
Please does anyone have a direct line contact number for British Gas Head Office - not the call centre staff? I've been having a complete nightmare trying to get through over the last 10 days and have been without gas and heating for that time. See my posts on the Vent board. Have searched online but can find no listing…

Economy 10/7
Hi Just phoned my electric supplier - southern electric- as i'd heard a lot about this tariff and have seen the prices in the price booklet. It seems a hell of a lot better & cheaper to have storage heaters on this tariff than the standard economy 7/ flexiheat/ superdeal. We only have electric in our flat so we have no…

Electrical Meter Relocation
Hi All, I need to get my electrical meter relocated from the inside of the wall to the outside (a move of under 18 inches). I have just called my supplier (NPower) who referred me to Southern Electric Networks who have advised me that this work will cost £600 to carry out. This seems a bit steep to me. I think I remember…

How much will it cost each month.....

Is it worht paying all utlilities in full
I know this is purely for gas but do you think that it is worth payig all utility bills in full that can be paid full instead of direct debit as I am going to be moving home soon and because it is shared ownership paying rent, mortgage and utilities is really going to set me back.

Switching, can I get more cashback?
It is that time of the year for me again...and I am switching my electricity from BG to Scottish Power. I was wondering if there was anyway I could get more cashback than by simply using the energyhelpline site (£15), is there anyway I can get more if I access the site through quidco or topcashback? Does anyone know of a…

Changed from Heatwise to E7 - Have I made a mistake?
Hi all, Yes, it may seem like the proverbial closing the barn door after the horse has bolted but any advice would be gratefully received :confused: I moved into a new build last year which is all electric in the East Mid region. It has a storage heater. The radiators are not heated by the storage heater. The original…

How do you read multirate meter
Have an ongoing saga with BG (since July) at the moment. Basically an unnecessary meter change happened and serial number, readings, bill all wrong. I noticed that it says multirate meter on it. I spoke to onstream or BG and they said it still be set single rate or charged at single rate (I can't remember which). Anyhow I…

He asked if he could see my meters :confused: I let him see both and he told me I was paying quite alot more on both per week than I would on BG so I signed to change over.…
