British Gas business rates (help)
I started a small business back in 2003, and was contacted by British Gas who I get my electricity from, to see if I wanted to go onto their business rate as I run a business from home. It seemed like a good deal so I agreed. I have just received a bill from them for £1102.22 As this is the biggest utilities bill I have…

Turning gas boiler off.
I have a dishwasher and an electric shower so think that I could save by turning my gas boiler off instead of switching it to hot water only use during the summer. Does the boiler use up a lot of gas when it's used for hot water only? Is it ok to switch the boiler off for weeks at a time?

EDF 11 hour off peak tarif
Can anybody advise. It appears I'm stuck with EDF as supplier of electricity as I've been told that other suppliers don't provide a similar scheme. As comparison sites don't recognize the scheme, I've not been able to assess wether I'm getting a good deal or not. As I understand the situation, I would have to get my 11…

Should I fix or stay put?
I never thought I'd hear myself saying that I may swop to British Gas but their Fix until 2011 does sound attractive.

Rest @ 11.804p Looking…

OFGEM wants suppliers to get them all removed as the tariff cannot be updated remotely so if they dont get access after a price rise you are building up debt. Suppliers are doing…
