Do you keep your heating on ALL day or just when you need it
A number of people tell me it's more economical to keep your heating on all day instead of putting it on at certain periods.

Has anyone taken a utility company to court before? help please
ok let me re-phrase it: Can you do so if the company withheld your bills for no less than 8 months and you were not notified that there were two separate meters? I used a pre-paid meter and thought that this was the only one.

'Gas to flow' after Moscow deal
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/7834796.stm So, I wonder how this will affect our energy prices? Will the providers start dropping prices, as planned early this year? Or will they use this as a convenient way of keeping the prices high?

timer plug on freezers?
Hello. If I put timer plugs on my 2 freezers, and set them to be off for 15 minutes 8 times in 24 hours, would this save money on the electric, or would the freezers use up extra power when they came on after being off? Im sure the food wouldnt defrost or anything in such short times. Could i set them to be off for longer?…
