Is this legal?
I have lived in a H.A. two bedroomed shared ownership flat since it was built in 2006/7. It is heated by four Dimplex panel heaters, an electric fire in the lounge and a wall fan thing in the bathroom. It is, and always has been, on an Economy 7 tariff, which I assume was agreed between the builders and Powergen (the…

Southern Electric Bill
My wife and I returned home last week (Wednesday) to discover a letter from Southern Electric to advise that our Direct Debit is going to increase from £31 a month to £165 for the same period. This was apparently due to the fact that our usage was higher than estimated. My wife spoke to them and they have advised that the…

Voltage Stabliser
I am looking to install a voltage stabliser (I think that is what they are called). This was after seeing the BBC TV show DIY SOS. It was the hour long special from South Wales where a box was fitted next to the meter to stablise the voltage into the house at 220v. That saving was said to be about 30% per annum. Did anyone…

Electric meter "stuck"
I'm with Southern Electric and an estimated electricity bill arrived last week. As as always, I rang them with the meter readings. I have Economy 7 so there are the day & night figures.)

Way Leave
My father is trying to get a Electric Link box moved from the side of his house in order to start work on an extension. He has contacted United Utilities and been told that there is no Way Leave in place for the link box, and that he'll have to pay £1500 to have it moved. This seems unfair given that there has been no…
