Couple of Questions about EON Products
I am researching moving tariffs, as like a lot of people on here at this time, my EON Price Protection v14 tariff is finishing on the 1st October. Comparison sites show some of the EON tariffs and in particular the "saver online" traiff to be comparable to the best available out there, and the Tesco clubcard points and…

Gas & electricity raw data - where do comparison sites get their info from?
Hi all, I was wondering where comparison sites get their information from and if the raw data is available to us? It wouldn't hurt to be able to verify the prices they give (actually this might help clear up some of the confusion when different sites give different recommendations), also I am interested in seeing what I…

When comparison sites go bad (or just confusing)
Not been on this board before but hopefully you can help. On October 1st I come off my E.on Energy Saver capped to Oct 09 rate and will automatically go onto the E.on Energy Saver R1 rate protected until April 2011. I have used this new rate and my existing rate when using the comparison site recommended by Martin. I have…

please tell me who to move to - if anyone!
I'm with scottish power dual fuel fixed which ends 31 august 09. I've tried various comparison websites and the best bet seems to be eon V3 fix online til dec 2010 which I don't want to fix. I can go to the next one down which is still with eon and says I'll save I think £400 a year. but having read various threads on here…

Just moved in...
I've just moved in to a small flat and need to look at sorting out who I want to supply my electricity. It seems that the previous tennant was using Npower as I have letters address to 'the occupier' telling me I need to contact them in order to avoid them cutting the power. What i'd like to know if in the likely event of…

Approached about my electricity meter number
I've just answered the door to a young man with a clipboard and some form of identity security tag round his neck asking to take details of my electricity meter type and number. When I queried why he should be doing this he told me it was instructions from the local generating company in the region, namely Scottish Power.…

Just moved and only form of heating is different from old address i.e. storage heaters which I have not yet used and therefore have no way of knowing what consumption or electric prices are…

Shocker: Praise for NPower!
Now I know this board often is filled with moans and groans about the electricity companies but I just wanted to sing NPowers praise (admittedly after a year of hassle). I won't go into the details, but after several times ringing the customer services for over a year, they still hadn't billed us (at all). I had given them…

Eon versus Npower
I recently went to uswitch.com to change my gas and electricity supplier in order to get the free box of wine, as advertised on this site a few months ago. My current supplier was npower, they charged me £122 per month direct debit for both gas and electricity. I did the comparison on Uswitch, and as it turned out, Eon…

EON Energy tracker
I've been adding my meter readings at the end of the month for the past 8 months and have enjoyed monitoring my energy use. However, when I went to look at it this morning it seems to have changed. i no longer have data on the previous year's consumption - it's all reset to zero. I notice that there is a new colour code…

nPower winge
Why are vulnerable people (parents!) so gullible that they will believe what door to door salesmen tell them? My dad was told that he would be cheaper with nPower and signed up and his DD was set at £58, £12 below what he paid with his previous supplier. He has now, some months later, been told his DD is changing to £115!…

Hello All
Hi I have been subscribed to Martins emails for many months now but just got around to browsing this site. Some of the items in Martins emails have saved me a fair bit of cash and although I am employed by a large energy utility I no longer take my supplies from my employer thanks to advice in those emails. I am looking…

Reading versus estimate
Hi, a guy came round our house to read the meter. Twelve days later we got a higher bill than his reading was, and this bill says it's an 'estimate'. The company says the reading didn't sound right because we've got a three bedroom house, but this shouldn't make a difference. Lately my parents have cut down electricity…

Dimplex Storage Heaters
This is probably going to sound really stupid, but i have just moved into a flat with 2 dimplex storage heater (Model number CXL24N) and i was just wondering how they work. I understand that they only come on overnight as they are connected to a different circuit but do they stay on full the full 7 hours of economy 7 or do…
