British gas !!!! up
In July I moved out of a shared house of 8 students when our contract ended (don't get the wrong idea, we paid the bills, honest!) and contacted British Gas to give them the final readings. They then had to use estimated readings, as their agents on the phone had no record of them coming in and exchanging our meter several…

Readings at the end of fixed deals.
I've just come to the end of a fixed deal with Southern which had prices about 30-40% lower than they are now. I have now rechecked the market and started the switch to the current cheapest provider. The last bills before the fix ended were estimates though, which were quite a lot under. Fortunately I noticed and managed…

Just moved in - switch utils now?
Hiya, We moved into our new house a couple weeks ago and have now received the first gas/electricity bills, however I don't think they're a very good indicator of how much we are likely to use as we were barely here. Would it be wise to switch to a capped rate or something now, or should we wait for the next bill so we…

To cap or not to cap?

Economy 10 electricity
Does anyone know if there is a definitive, up-to-date list of which electricity suppliers offer Economy 10 tarrifs? We are currently on Economy 10 with Eon, who have recently announced large price rises. The usual energy comparisons only deal with single-meter and Economy 7 (two-band meters), not our three-band jobbie, and…

Click Energy
How often can one supply readings, how much leeway is given to inform them of quarterlies, if, say, one is on a longish holiday, when it comes round? Of late what have people's experience been of their service? According to sites I can save £150 a year, so I could be tempted to change supplier, so have they improved from…

Will a room thermostat help?
First - two apologies - 1) For sounding a little thick with the question - and - 2) For asking in the wrong place - if I am; I wasn't sure if I should ask in the In The Home thread..... Anyway, as the title says - would a room thermostate help do you think? Obviously, gas usage/cost is a factor as it is for everyone. The…

Gas monthly payment we can't afford!
I started paying for my gas using a card and paying monthly over the post office counter - £66 - a: because there was a small amount of arrears; and b: I wanted to avoid horrible big bills. However, the other day I received a letter from British Gas saying I needed to up my payment and they've calculated my new monthly…

Q for Eon and npower employees re 'pay old prices when you switch' clause
I've been speaking to both Eon and npower recently regarding switching away after a price increase, and invoking the clause in the contract about being charged at the old rate if you don't accept the increase. The jist of the conversation goes like this: Me: I'm leaving for a new supplier, and I would like my closing bill…

Just within the last few weeks. We’ve got a meter, that we put in as we use and we are going through quite a lot.

Paying monthly - where's the incentive to save?
I have a niggling issue with paying monthly on gas and electricity. Monthly payment amounts are generally based on past usage - so roughly what you used a year ago will influence what you pay now because the utility company assume you will use the same amount of fuel year on year. So we are paying £63 a month for gas (it…

Thermometers
Anyone know where I can get a couple of cheap thermometers to try and keep a check on room temperatures and maybe keep fuel bill down a bit. Prefer to order online.
