Electric water heaters - How is yours running?
This is just a quick survey to see how everyone uses their electric water heaters :) - Do you use a timer (if so, how long is it on?) or just leave it on 24/7 to heat up when it needs to - Direct or indirect? (direct heats lots of water and you use that, indirect heats as you need it) - Your usage (eg. 2 bed house, 2 kids,…

Boiler won't light in this weather

Not so this time. We can't get the pilot to light at all .. it sounds…

Have I boo booed?
I had a sales rep call yesterday from Scottish Power. He said that their prices for duel fuel were 20% lower than my current supplier British Gas (click energy 5 rate), and that they had a Capped Price Energy April 2010 offer which again guaranteed that should British Gas drop their prices in the coming months, then…

Seeking a second opinion
I've recently moved into a flat with my family. To my horror I discovered that this flat has a prepayment metre for electric after I moved in. I know I should have checked it when viewing but I didn't. I know that a former tenant of the property ran up a load of debts because I have recieved angry letters from bailiffs. So…

Time to switch my supplier?
HI there, After having my gas and electric bills in this week i'm wondering if its time to switch? My gas is with British gas and quite frankly i think it expensive.

Anybody here use CoverHeat?
When we moved house last January I used uswitch.com to search for the best value in heating/boiler cover and CoverHeat came up as one of the best, and cheapest, £150 per year for full cover of the whole system. I do not attach any blame to uswitch, after all I chose the "supplier" but now, when I really need their cover to…

Year on year costs. The cold spell!! Budget NOW!
I have been looking at my gas and electric usage over the last month or two. I find that we are using far more fuel than last year. This is something that needs budgeting for now! Anyone else find that this cold spell and what looks like a cold winter will result in far higher fuel bills? I can see the trends in graph form…

But after monitoring I cannot see any reduction in the meter units used. The CH thermostat is in the Hall way and I set this to say 15C, but the the hall…

Advice needed - using lots of gas, unsure as to why..
I thought I'd best ask for advice here...I'm with EBico for Gas - no complaints with them. However, a few months back they had a systems foulup that reset prepay meters to "0.000" per unit - I called them and enquired why my meter had used no cash over 2 weeks (prepay), they said if I topped up again, the meter would reset…

Fixed rate rip-offs?
I was just looking at prices for energy, I would have expected fixed rate tariffs to be the lowest because I can't see prices going anywhere but down in the current climate. However they are not the lowest, far from it? So what is going on :confused: Are the companies planning to make us pay rip-off prices by over charging…
