Shocking Gas Bill
Having recently moved house we have just received a hefty bill from NPower for our Gas. For a 2 bed mid terrace we have received a bill for over 100 pounds for 1 months gas (approx. 250 cubic meters of gas used). Surely this can't be correct?!? Even if it is Winter! We switch our gas on for approx. 4 - 5 hours per day (out…

So I have just been on moneysupermarket and put in my details and it has come up with the following, but the reviews about e-on hasn't encouraged me to switch. Just wondered if anyone else has used e.on and how they have found them? Also read…

Cost of gas VS Cost of oil
Hi there, Anyone that could give me a rough comparison, I'd be very grateful. First time buyer looking for a house and have found the perfect house...almost. It has an oil tank as the entire village has no gas supply. I want to work out if it is too expensive and whether we should look in other villages that have gas. 3…

Radiators going off whenever water timer is off - any ideas?
Hi fellow MoneySavers, Have a bit of a problem with my radiators (it's a boiler system, BTW). We have a digital panel on our wall which allows us to set the time for when we want our radiators & hot water to go on/off. If the timer for the hot water is on at the same time as the radiator timer, all is hunky dory. If the…

Price hoikes.
Hi I think Scottish Power have hiked their prices but I haven't been informed by them. If they have then I'm confused as to the legality of it. How can they increase charges without informing customers thus giving them a choice whether to accept them or to switch? I'm probably on the high horse whilst they're waving small…

Will turning off certain radiators in day reduce gas consumption?
Ok, our gas bills have been absolutely huge the past few months so we want to try and reduce them. We live in a 2 bed flat. We have a timer-clock which comes on several times during the day and during the night. In the past we left all the radiators on during the day (even in rooms that we didn't really use during the…

Switching from BG Click Energy 4
I notice that this tariff has been increased and have check a few switch sites who tell me that the N Power online tariff will save me money, but experience in switching has shown that if you switch supplier, they set your DD at a ridiculously high level until it "finds it's own level" I have been with BG for about two…

They Could Be Ripping You Off-Check the Timing of your boiler safety checks
I had boiler breakdown insurance with a well known utility company. They were meant to perform a yearly safety check. The safety check was not carried out for 18 months. If they did this again the next year- I would be essentially paying them a years premium for nothing. I cancelled my direct debit and they were quick to…

Warning: Energyhelpline hadn't updated my tariff
Something to watch out for here. Today, I went to the Energyhelpline site and typed in my current tariff and consumption. It told me that I would only save £1 by switching so I wasn't going to bother. But I'm pleased that I checked on another site as it turns out that Energyhelpline hadn't updated my current Eon tariff for…

Switching sires such as Uswitch, moneysupermarket etc
Can anyone advise me as to why if you go to each of the online switching sites, not one of them advises you of the same company as the cheapest. How are you to know which is the most accurate? I enter the exact same details for each of the sites so surely they should all be the same. I want to switch, but not sure as to…
