BG 39p charge
Every night 39p gets taken off my prepaid gas meter. My husband rang to query the charge, and was told him it was because we were not using enough gas. Surely this can't be right, how can they penalise you for using less gas?. I'm going to ring them myself tomorrow and see if I can get some sense out of them, has this…

British Gas DD increase without permission
I know that the gas has been spoken about going up in general but surely that provider is meant to contact you first before taking money from your account. My Gas bill went up by £14 this month with no notification that this was going to happen, now i am not happy that the prices are going up but surely it's against the…

Ebico to EDF online 6
Hi, After the Ebico price rise I'm thinking of 'jumping ship' - really would like to keep it simple (I love the Ebico quarterly billing) but money is very tight and for electric they are now a bit too expensive - energyhelponline show EDF online 6 as a saving of £200 per annum on usage of 5500 kw - it seems that this…

Southern Electric

My wife and I started our own business 3 months ago (well, really it's the wifes'). When we first opened we got a call from Bizz Energy to supply our electricity. The wife was keen to sort out a supplier (although a little naive) and said we were interested and gave them our details for payment etc. although they had not…

Oil May Fall to $50 a Barrel in Global Recession, Merrill Lynch Says
All depends on if we get a full-blown global recession or not, apparently. I know it's all up in the air at the moment, but personally I'm glad I haven't fixed/capped my gas/electricity. Who knows? The energy companies have gone a bit quiet on the 'gas price linked to price of oil' theory just lately :rolleyes: , but if we…

working out ££ used from gas/elec meters
Apologies in advance if this is somewhere really obvious, but i've had a look around and i can't really find anything to answer my question. We pay our gas and electric by use of cards every 2 weeks - not prepayment meters, just cards that we pay our bills via every 2 weeks at the post office, like payzone and so on. we're…

Calculating power usage.
When using an energy comparison site to achieve a better rate for gas or electricity one has to give the amount of either gas or electricity consumed as a total spend per year or as an amount in Kwh which I think is more accurate. How do you convert the units used on a gas or electricity meter into Kwh. All my attempts at…

'creeping' gas meter
My Mum had a new gas meter installed a while ago. Recently she noticed that her bill seemed rather high as she hadn't really used any gas over the summer. She checked her readings and realised that the meter was going up even when no gas appliances were in use. When she queried this with British Gas she was told that it…
