£80 Cash-back for Dual Fuel Switch
I took Martin's advice that this was a good time to compare and switch. I decided to go through USwitch, to get the case of wine, and sure enough I found that switching to Npower could save me nearly £150. However, before proceeding I also checked whether Npower was on TopCashBack and found it was - and they were offering…

Getting billed seperately (Southern elec+gas)
Hi all, I live in quite a terrible student house where the guys here don't give a Sh*t about the bills and it looks like, again, I may have to pay it all off out of my pocket. It didnt matter in the last bill (Summer+Fall) but this one ran up to more than a thousand quid for elec+gas. I was advised by my landlord to…

PV and Storage Heaters

We have moved house a year ago and received a letter saying we need to pay money to British Gas.

Scottish Power, weren't prices supposed to go down?
I submitted an online reading yesterday and have just noticed on my bill that the price of the primary gas units has actually gone up (price change on 31/3) from 3.884p (per kwh, exc. vat) to 4.699p. Is this some kind of mistake? Aren't companies supposed to inform customers of an increase? Nice touch to reduce the price…

New E.on tariff worth moving to?
I am currently on E.on's EnergyOnline Extra Saver 14 tariff (dual fuel). I was tinkering around with the comparison engines (free bottles of wine etc) and noticed the new FixOnline V7 tariff. All the comparison sites reckon I will make savings on this tariff. However the tariff I am currently on I believe has some sort of…

Best supplier/tarriff for empty property
Thought it worth asking in case someone else has been through this one recently. We have a house which is empty and on the market, so will hopefully sell within a few months. The heating's kicking in for a few hours each day so there's a moderate gas usage, but there's only about 1 kWh of electric being used each day. Any…

NPower Sign Online 17 Dual Fuel - subject to sculpting or not?
I'm currently going through the switching process to NPower but wondering if I've done the right thing after reading many threads relating to the gas sculpting issue. I've checked the tariff I've signed up to and it only has a primary gas unit rate of 2.13p per day (as well as a standing charge of 40.274p per day) - it…

Being particularly tight about electricity use!
Hi all, I have a few questions about how much electricity I'm using when I'm doing certain things... Does it take more electricity to power an audio device when it is at a higher volume than when the volume's lower? If I charge something, such as an ipod, via the USB port on my laptop, does it use extra electricity than…
