comparison sites
hello. I've been looking at the comparison sites, and they all say I'd be best off on British Gas click energy 5. Two Questions: Would this take into account yesterday's announcement about BG's rising prices? ie, are the comparison sites totally up to date on this? and 2) If I did change to British Gas, should I go through…

Electricity usage
Does 39 units over 5 days sound a reasonable amount of electricity to use? It is just me and my OH and we live in a 3 bedroom terraced house - both out at work full time. Electric cooker and hob. Water is heated by gas. Don't really know what else to tell but I hope someone can help! TIA!

E-on's increased my DD - confused
Hi A man came to read our gas and electric meters on 16th July. We are on a combined bill with e-on. A week later I received a statement from e-on to show we were in debit by £303.36. It then goes on to explain: Your account ballance is £303.36 in debit What this means: As you pay by Direct Debit, we will carry your…

Really getting confused with Energy rates - Help?!
Hi! We have dual fuel with e.on and pay monthly by direct debit...so effectively we thought we were getting the best deal with a 9% saving. However, having just had a notification from them to say our monthly payment of £119 was increasing to £152 with immediate effect (apparently we use more gas/elec than our dd covers),…

New Home Owner - Help Please!!
Hello I'm moving into a house in a couple of weeks and I'm a bit panicked about my utilities (understatement!) I've come from a shared house where the bills are paid by the landlady and I'm moving into a small 2 bed terrace so I've got no idea how to get figures for comparison on the websites like USwitch. I'm basically…

Definitive Answers?
Is there a place where one can get definitive answers? I yesterday changed to an Eon capped tariff from Eon online saver. I was unsure if this was the right thing to do. I phoned Eon again today and they say that my monthly DD will go up by about 16% (currently I pay £101 for gas/electricity). However, reading the posts on…

Do Not Panic Buy!!
I have just been listening to radio 2 and Martins recommendation to lock in was mentioned. Be warned still check the prices against the other tariffs. An example of this is E-ON. Their lock in price per unit is almost DOUBLE the Energy Online extra saver tariff. Oil prices have started to drop. Even with a 30% or 50% price…

To cap or not to cap
I'm currently with Eon and after speaking to an adviser in detail about my usage, I calculate that to cap my bill it would cost me abot 32% - 34% more than Im paying at present (online saver tariff 6). So for me and maybe others out there it may not be a saving to cap. With my current discount I reckon the increase in…

Annoyed with E-ON
I was already with E-ON when the move to capping rush started some time ago so it was easy to move from their Age Relief to duel fuel capped tarrif. I got the latest bill the other day and saw that I was £98.48 in credit. This is after supplying my own reading of the two meters. So I rang them up to get it refunded. It was…

Funny reading on Maplin energy monitor
So I got one of those energy monitors off eBay, the Maplin version. When I plug it into a socket without anything connected it reads 00W for a while, but after 10-15 seconds it changes to 04W, and 0.03A. Is this normal or is something wrong? Cheers Ben

Shipperless with no gas bill
Recently I looked at capping my gas and electric supplies. I thought that I had a dual supply from Scottish Hydro Electric with both gas and electric being paid for by a joint direct debit. On making enquiry with Hydro Electric I was told that they hadn't supplied gas to my address since 2003. On there advice I contacted…
