capping bills - have I missed the boat?
just been on a (gas and electricity) comparison price and found the best capped rate switch for me gives an expected saving of MINUS £30. This is without taking into account the annual loyalty bonus my current supplier gives me (a month's payment back in my account - currently £35). are the price hikes on the horizon going…

I don't understand my electricity bill,can anyone help?

Gas - who do you contact if you want a new supply from the road ?
Title is a bit misleading but I'll explain. I have a flat in a house. There are four flats in the whole house and none of them have gas. I never enquired about getting gas in as I thought it be would be prohibitively expensive ( the other's aren't bothered ). It would have to be taken over a driveway into the house. Today…

Hi All, I have almost completed a two bedroom etc extension to my house and am wondering what is the cheapest way of having electric installed.I could possibly just connect into the house supply but it may be that if we could rent out the extension then it would be better to have its own supply and meter.

They even went as far as taking the first direct debit. Then, out of the blue, they sent a letter saying that my meter/supply was "incompatible" with them…
