Cashback for new gas connection
We are going to have a new gas connection put in, which will be done by National Grid. I was told by British Gas that they would contribute £290 to the cost assuming I take them as my supplier.

The one where they can only charge you for the last 12 months of fuel if they've not been billing you/not been billing you…

Cheapest domestic hot water (Gas or Economy 7 electric)
I have just discovered that I have an electric immersion heater in my hot water tank.

Obligation to send bills?
This might well be a daft question and even posted before - apologies if it is/has. Question is, are energy companies under any legal obligation (or any kind of obligation) to furnish their customers with bills on a regular basis? To expand this further, customer pays by monthly direct debit for gas and electricity and…
