Evidence of value of remoska and heated towel rail
I know there are threads on here which show clever sums about how much less SCs and Remoskas can cost to run, but my OH this week got a CHEQUE from the elec company for £600 because he'd been paying too much on the 'drip feed' over the past year. The only things that were different were the fact that I bought a Remoska…

EDF Advice please
I have been on EDF online v5 tariff for a couple of years now. Today I received a letter saying they are moving me to the standard tariff. When I look on the comparison sites it says EDF online V6 is best deal for me. Can I ask EDF to put me on this rather than standard tariff they have moved me to? Thanks
