How do we go about sorting out the supply and…

Do quarterly bills still exist?
Scottish Power insist that we no longer have the option to pay our power bills on a quarterly 'by cheque' basis and instead insist on us paying them a set amount each month (like a direct debit but paid by cash / cheque). We put so much money away each month and then pay the bill when it comes in - we do not believe in…

N.Power swapping from online 14 to 16?
Hi, I have just swapped from online 14 to 16. I have been on online 14 since March. Re:This 'discount' they apply for monthly direct debit. It says you will get it after 12 months and there should be 'no break'. Does this break JUST mean the direct debit bit? Or does it apply to rate tarts like myself, who jump to the…

How do I know if my electric metre is Imperial or Metric?
Hi We have just received an electric bill from Scottish Power and it is showing that we have used £1795 in electricity from 1st December 2008 through till 19th July 2009. This seems unbelievable due to the fact we live in a 1 bedroom flat with Economy 7 storage heaters which are rarely on. The meter we have is a multirate…

BG calc of number of higher rate kWh
For most if not all its gas tarrifs, British Gas sets one price per kWh for the first 670 kWh per quarter and a second (lower) price for the rest. BG tells me that for partial quarters the 670 figure is reduced in proportion, a figure of 7.342kWh per day being used. That correctly adds up to 670 for a whole quarter.…

Does anyone know who manufactures the device, so that I can see if there is any software available to do what I would like? This is the same monitor:…

Switching tariff with existing supplier - cashback?
We're considering switching providers - currently paying ~£850pa for gas with E.On and ~£640 for electricity with npower. Looking at the comparison sites, we could save approx £220pa with a dual-fuel tariff from EDF, and about £212 with one from either npower or E.On. Has anyone on the forum done a switch of a second fuel…
