British Gas Homecare, having a laugh.

Advice needed on Storage Heaters

I have overnight storage heating and my meter provides 3 readings - day, night and heat. My energy company have told me that the 'heat' units are used to provide the boost on the storage…

Prevention of Gas Board Monopoly
Just a quick question was reading BG intranet tonight about the history ect ect. I was looking at gas prices and noticed standalone gas prices are far from cheap and asked a colleague about it.

Paperless billing
It's annual electricity/gas review time for me, and I'm currently on Npower SOL14 for both (£450 a year approx). It looks like Npower SOL17 (Electricity) & Go Fix (Gas) would save me around £38 a year which isn't huge but worth it. However, both tarriffs are paperless, and I've always tried to avoid this. Why? Well, it's a…
