does it matter??
Just doing some research to check the prices of gas and electricity. But the usage I have is not recent and is from about 6months ago, the usage has changed as more people are under the same roof. Does it matter at all or can I use the figures from previously?? TIA

£400 gas bill this quarter!!
This was our first proper bill in 2 years due to some issues, which is now resolved. We live in a 3 bed semi and the gas bill for Nov - Feb is £400! Ok, so we had the heating on all day during the cold spell for about 2 - 3 weeks, but usually we only heat the house between 4 - 10pm. Does this seem a bit excessive? The…

Gas vs Electricity
Hi All My first post so here goes, when someone asks the question which is cheapest/best option to go for it appears to me that most "informed" people always go with gas, but I have come to the conclusion that gas is not as readily available as it used to be ie North Sea and we controlled the tap. This winter at it's worst…

Gas & Electric Tarrifs
I am really confused with all the tarrifs available. I am currently on Brit Gas dual fuel essentials tarrif. I live in the SHEB charging area. I have tried to find out whether I would be better switching, but unfortunately this tarrif is not listed on comparison sites. My anual consumption is 4,745 & 5,110 kWh/year for gas…

Electric Meter with British Gas
We had a new electric meter installed last year. My husband queried with British Gas that the night rate seems too high considering we use nothing except the dishwasher (for about an hour). They said that it might be registering too fast. If we wanted it tested it would cost us £70. If it did show that it was registering…

Does the Power Supplier Owe me cash?
Hi over a week ago we had a strange smell within the house particularly near the fuse boxes we thought. We rang for an electrician who checked everything through out, then checked the outside meter which seemed was the fault. Connecting wires appeared burn't & discoloured & the same smell was in there. We rang the…

EDF Electricity DO I HAVE A FAULTY METER?
Over the last 18 months I have noticed that our Electricity Bill has increased very rapidly. We (2 adults and 1 child aged 5) live in a 3 bed terrace house with a very old elecrical meter (Iskra E89E2) which was last certified on 02/96. We have gas central heating (Condensing Combi Boiler) so no electric heaters are used.…

nPower refuse to change monthly payment
Bill arrived from nPower wanting to change payments from £44 to £58 per month. Phoned to ask them to leave it and was told that this is how much they have calculated I need to pay to cover my usage (obviously based on an estimate of how much gas and electricity I will be using in the future) so they cannot change it. She…

Switching? Beware!
I have just trawled through the energy switch websites and they all assure me they can save me around £400 a year. But on looking closer at the cost per unit, all are higher than we currently pay. The top pick - Eon - charges more than DOUBLE what we are paying yet the switch sites assure me we will save. I rang USwitch in…
