Which companies dont charge to change meter?
Just moved into a new house and it has prepayment meters. I actually went through the comparison sites and chose a fixed deal with eon. I gave them all my meter numbers online, and they sent me through a welcome letter telling me i was being switched to the correct deal. Then i got a prepayment key through the door.…

White meter electric -Time switch 12 hours out
We have a White Meter electric setup. Mechanical time switch set to give 10 hours cheap rate between 9pm-7am, switching the electric meter between Low & Normal rates. All the electric supply is switched, not just one circuit (as in a storage heater circuit). We must have had this old mechanical time switch for 30+ years.…

Prepayment Metere - EDF? Ebico?
Hi, I am on a prepayment meter for gas and electricity. I had huge costs with British Gas, so changed to Southern Electric.

Paying by DD- how much does it tend to save you?
I've always paid my quarterly bills as they've come in, rather than paying by monthly DD (though I do put aside £100pm into a separate account so I'm prepared when the bill does come in). I'm about to move home, so am debating whether to set up a DD in my new place. How much does it generally tend to save you? From talking…

Glow Worm Boiler Problem & Solution Hi I had posted a problem earlier, trying to find out the approximate cost of a new boiler. Fair play, where it's due, I think a manufacturer needs to be recognised when they offer good value as well as being moaned about when they dont. I have now discovered I don't need a new boiler…

I've been ripped off... Advice needed.
I recently had my boiler changed and found a tradesperson from ratedpeople site- 5 star rating etc and chose him on basis of timescale more than price (all 3 quotes very similar). Decent job, very clean, took 2 days in total. All good. Then a rental property required a boiler changed. I stupidly did not bother shopping for…
