another Eon FixOnline 3 Q or 2 for Eon Rep
Hi, like a lot of people on here my Eon capV2 tariff ends on 1st October. I was just on the Eon site and FixOnline 3 tariff seems to be the best for me, unless I can find a better tariff elsewhere:D. In fact it is only the 19.3% discount that makes it so:p. However there is no mention of Tesco points:confused: , are there…

Southern Electric Quantum Gas Meter Problem
I just inherited this meter last Saturday. The problem is that the meter does not have a separate units display, it just has a single display (for payments/credit). Going through the many menu's, there does not appear to be a page which indicates number of units used! I realise I should have posted a photo of this meter,…

Are cancellation charges legal?
I’m sorry if this issue has been raised already but my search of this board hasn’t provided any results specifically on this topic.

Stressed with energy comparison sites - help please
Every month, often without fail, I read my meters. I am with Scottish Power's Online Energy Saver 4 tarriff, which has seen me right for some time.

For customers on fixed tariff (2011) you can get your boiler serviced for a pound (offer until 4 Sept). This seems too good to be true - any catches? Will they identify work that needs to be done? Anyone any experience of BG boiler services?

Magniwork
My husband has found this "magniwork" on the internet which seems to be a machine which creates electricity for around 30 pounds. It is easy to assemble apparently and it saves money on the electricity bill. I went on their web page but I cant find a phone number (US). I am wondering if this is genuine or another…
