new to underfloor heating, pls help
We're buying off plan and we are going to be asking the developer to give us a price for fitting underfloor heating. I have no idea on the typical running costs. I think based on the kitchen being 5650x4535 that equates to 252sq ft? I was told we could not have the water type as we will be on LPG? And there is an "electric…

Are we paying through the nose?
I Apologise if this as been aired before. My question is, back in the 1980s when the Conservative government was in power, and they allowed the people who generates our electricity to use our north sea gas supply, making it undoubtedly cheaper. And at the same time splitting our supplier up to as many as the market can…

Scottish Power - Sales Lies
The other day we had a Scottish Power sales person at the door. He couldn't read (we have a sticker from BT saying "Door to Door Sales? Please Don't Ring", but he still rang) so it wasn't a great start. I said that we use MSE and their recommended comparison sites, which is usually enough to get rid of these types. His…

I got £80 cashback using Quidco instead of the £30 or so offered through the links on MSE. Quidco works where you pay a fiver out of…
