Any Advice on actions I can take - EON?
Hi All - I'll keep brief hopefully. Have been paying EON for Electric and British Gas for Gas - Decided to go "dual supply" - as I have a balance outstanding with EON (long story - when I moved in 2 years ago I got a bill for £700 - when I queried they said did I have an outdoor swimming pool - I live in a 2 bed terrace!!)…

scottish power fixed rate-is it worth the hype? rates here
Hello all- Here are the scottish power fixed rates which I signed up for- Electricity; 25p per day standing charge, then 9.475p/kwh Gas; 23.66pence then 2.695p/kwh are these prices really worth fixing for a year. With a cancellation charge of 50 pounds? I believe they don't come down if prices drop. I am an ebico customer…

Capping for existing Br Gas customers
I am British Gas dual fuel customer. Further to Martin's email I did the price comparison search on capped tariffs and Biritsh Gas Price Guarantee December 09 seemed the best option.

Gas or Electric cooker? - cheaper to run long term?
Hi, I wonder if anyone can give me some views! Basically, I currently have an old gas cooker which is a great cooker except that it is too small for the gap inbetween the kitchen cupboards, apart from that I like cooking with gas. The problem is that I have been given the choice of having my parents Belling cooker which…

Capping or not to Cap update: Important update
Hello All Having just spoken to Atlantic today (after we switched from N Power 4 months ago) they informed me that all the capping panic going is based on spin and to beware..

Someone from Southern Electric......
....just knocked the door. I am always wary of these door to door people and most of them just ignore my sign telling them to stay away. He was saying something about a government initiative on saving energy, but said he would send details in the post. Don't have a clue what he was talking about, not been told anything. I…

Fix rate for Flat Sharing?
Hi, I do flat sharing with two friends in London. Since the prices seem to go up soon I was wondering if it makes sense for us to cap the price as well. We are right now with E.ON. The main problem I see here is what happens if I do it as fixed rate and I will be stuck with the contract for 12 months and I had to move out…

Fight back
Why doesn't somebody organise a campaign against the energy suppliers? Not like the HGV drivers driving through London. How thick were they? Using fuel (and paying tax) to try to make their point. What is needed is a campaign to move customers 'en masse' away from the first three companies to increase their charges. Maybe…

gas usage/inefficient boiler?
Hi, I have a Halsted quattro gold boiler (combi) I know its really crap :( We really can't afford to change it, but I think we are using OBSCENE amounts of gas.

NEW British Gas Fixed to 30 Sept 2011
British Gas have just announced a fixed product to 30 September 2011. I moved to the British Gas Fixed to 12 Dec 2009 last week. I believe I can cancel this within 14 days if I want to. I reckon it'll cost me about £150 a year more than the 2009 product but it lasts for nearly two years longer. Will I save in the long run?…
