What hours is economy 7 (with Npower)?
My mum is with Npower and she has is on an economy 7 tariff. She was told by them that economy 7 is from 9pm-3am but I think this is wrong and that is why her bills are so high (she is elderly and lives on her own). The hours of economy 7 is unsurprisingly missing from the Npower website and their call centre is closed, so…

Could someone please advise. We have the heating on a couple of hours in the morning and 3 hours in the evening. If we increased to 5 hours in the evening (I work from home) would that really cost us or would the fact that the heating is already on make a difference. I normally work from an office in the house and just…

Check your British Gas Bill
Just had the latest gas bill through from British Gas and they are being very sneaky (what do you expect!) Overall we used about 3 units a day for the time period of the bill. There was a price rise in July so the bill was split over two time periods. Instead of charging the 3 units per day over the two periods, we were…

Direct Debit Algorithms
There have scores of posts on MSE complaining about huge increases in Direct Debit payments. The reasons are inevitably a debit balance built up because the DD was not set high enough and/or under-estimated meter readings. The increase is to set a correct level of payment to cover future outgoings, and to recover that…
