NPower Problems!! Think we'll freeze this winter!!
My boiler broke in April and not once did anyone tell me that even though we weren't using any gas or topping up our token meter that the lovely people at NPower were charging us £2.65 a week for the priviledge of having their meter in :rolleyes: NPower tried telling me on the phone that my landlord should've told me but…

Social Tariffs summary
Prompted by some older posts and the common questions now around Social Tariffs I couldn't find 1 thread that had all the current bits combined. I thought it may help popping all the bits I could find below. I have used several forum members posts as some direction on where to find info and shamelessly copied some of their…

British Gas Direct Debit Discount
I apologise if this has already been covered but on checking my recent gas bill I note that in addition to attempting to increase my direct debit from £37 to £56 (which isn't going to happen!) they have changed the direct debit discount from roughly 10% of 'the gas used charge' to £0.0027 per Tier 2 kWh (capped at £12). So…

I'm new and confused!!
Hello :) I've just been switched on to this money saving lark (which is fab!) and I would like to consider switching over my energy providers. But I have some questions and a "search" of this forum came up fruitless. If there's another thread/discussion/article I'm missing, I would really appreciate a link to that too.…

Atlantic E & G 13 month refund. Beware.
I moved to Atlantic E & G in May of last year. Their welcoming letter promised a refund of one months payments after I had been with them for 13 months. This would be paid directly into my bank account. "You needn't make a claim or remember to do anything -- simply leave it to us!" they said. Thirteen months came and went…

Comparison Site Quotes
Having just done 2 different comparison site searches, I was surprised to see how different the quotes were for exactly the same details - is this normal? For example, with exactly the same details entered, the price for BG's Click Energy 5 tarif was 1,163 with 'energyhelpline' search engine, but came in at only 865.50…

Cost - running a gas fire vs central heating
Hi, As the evenings are getting a little cooler (we're in the North!), wifey is wanting some heat - she doesn't carry the natural insulation that I have... Is the gas fire in the lounge set on low, cheaper to run than the central heating? Or can we heat the whole house for a simillar cost to the gas fire? Both the fire and…

How direct debits are calculated .. read before you shout!
I know crossposters should die a horrible death but as this is most of what I do all day i'm guessing it may deserve a wider audience than the thread it was in. Hope this helps. A direct debit can be one of two things with energy companies, fixed or variable. Fixed is a set amount based upon your usage. It stays at that…

No cashback for British Gas Click Energy?
After reading Martin's article and visiting these cashback sites to try and switch from Eon EnergyOnline Saver 8 to British Gas Click Energy 5, it seems that hardly any of the packages actually allow you to switch online, therefore only a few such as Npower give you cashback? Is this correct? I know the price of British…

Energy helpline and Uswitch still showing old Eon prices
Hi all I'm with Eon on their Electricity online extra saver version 5. My prices went up on 22nd Aug. I've even had a letter from Eon confirming this but yet as of tonight both Energyhelpline and Uswitch are both still quoting the pre 22nd Aug prices. This is very misleading for anyone like me who wants to compare other…

power factor reducer/power saver plug - do they work?
Does anyone know if these things are any good and are they legal? Someone told me about them and apparently they can reduce your electricity bills by up to 30%. I found one for £15 on an eco site (http://www.windtrap.co.uk/Energy-Saving-Products/Power-Factor-Reducer.htm) and if they do what they say why are they not more…

No notice of price increase from Scottish Power
I just had an email today to advise me that my Scottish Power Online Energy Saver 4 tarriff went up on 1st September. Can they do this? I knew prices were going up but surely they should have advised me before the effective date of increase and not nearly 3 weeks later??? I think the energy business runs in a parallel…
