Scottish Power Economy 7
In the process of switching over from Eon to SP. Can anyone confirm when their Economy 7 switches over? The booklet say 12:30 - 07:30 (summer) and 01:30 - 08:30 (winter) - yet my metre switches itself over at 12:00- 07:00 and 01:00 -08:00. Their customer services quoted me a 3rd set of times which is kind of concerning…

Green Energy, is there any point???
Hi there, I'm new to this so please don't hurt me! I've come across 2 conflicting arguements that I hope you can help me understand. Energy Companies have been told by the Government to reach a target of a reduction of 10% of carbon emissions by 2010, and 34% by 2020. They have also said they will stop at the limit as it's…

Advice please, Re: British Gas and arrears
Hi Im wondering if anyone could offer some advice please. I have been paying my Gas and Electric via direct debit, at a rate which they set by me answering some questions, like how many people, appliances etc etc. I was paying this amount and I have to admit as I am on the paperless billing setting I never really checked…

British Gas Homecare Annual Service rip-off
My first monthly payment on a Homecare agreement with British Gas was on 27/02/07. The first inspection was not carried out until the middle of April. Last year they did not come and do the annual service until the end of July. This year I did not get a reminder and so rang them up to book. The earliest date was the end of…

getting off Economy 7
Does anyone know how (if at all) easy it is to stop paying for my electricity under the economy 7 type tariffs? When we moved into our house it was fitted with a meter that allowed for "cheaper" night time leccy & although I have been reasonably good at switching to get the best pricing it does occur to me that I'm paying…

Tampered with leccy meter! Will I go to gaol???
Hi, I've moved in to a new (to me) house and there was a continual noise coming from the ancient looking electricity meter under the stairs. The electrician I've employed for other work removed the old part leaving the modern meter. It transpires I'm on 2 meters - one for day and one for night (the economy 7). I've phoned…

Which Scottish Power plan am I on? Confusion reigns...
Hi, According to my bills and online account, I'm on Scottish Power Fixed Price Energy Online. I believe I read elsewhere that this expires at the end of August. Martin's latest newsletter indicates that it ends on September 30 and there's no penalty for early switching. A phone call to SP five minutes ago informed me that…

EON Online 5 doesn't exist
[FONT="]I've spent a long time today entering precise figures (from my bill records) into price comparison websites recommended by MSE, and most seem to recommend I will save about £140 a year by switching to EON's Online 5 tariff. So I phoned EON to do this, and was told that Online 5 didn’t exist. They were at a loss…

Gas meter mix-up
Apologies in advance for the long winded post, hopefully it makes sense! I moved into rented accomodation in June 2008. It is a former house that has been converted into 2 apartments. I called Transco who advised me that British Gas was my gas supplier. I called British Gas and they advised me that they already had an…

Tracking fule consumption?
I know there is a board for this sort of question but just wanted to ask here too. Doe anybody use an owl device or a plug in device to track the amount of fuel they use? Are they any good and does leaving things on standby eat up electricity? My OH says it makes no difference but economy is not his strong point!:eek:

Should I switch to British Gas?
According to energyhelpline.com, I stand to save 20% on my electricity bills (I don't have gas) if I move from EOn's Extra Saver 8 plan to British Gas's WebSaver 3. Obviously that's pretty damned tempting! However, I was with British Gas a few years back and they drove me mad with their poor service and incomprehensible…
