Heating a house via electric
I have come to the conclusion that to try and simulate a house centrally heated via gas is impossible with electric using heaters. It costs a fortune, even 1KW in each room that 7 rooms so 7KW/hour times 7 equals 49KW/day approx £5 a day. And 1KW is not enough to heat the rooms because when it finally gets to a comfy temp…

E-on Standard Rate with an E7 Meter
Any ideas?? My in-laws changed dual fuel supplier to E-on last year and during the call stated that they wanted to move away from E7 to a standard rate. All seemed well, the call agent stated that it could be done without a meter change as they could 'just add the units together' which seems a simple idea. They don't have…

NPower - dual fuel/direct debit discount
Can't find that this has been posted elsewhere, apologies that it has. I called NPower last week to switch tariffs as the one I was on had come to an end, and then realised that the dual fuel/direct debit discount of £100 had not been taken off my bill or paid into my account. If any of you are with NPower and eligible for…

I moved house at the end of October and have been in the process of switching both my gas & electricity provider from OVO to Npower Juice. The reason is that Npower were offering £200 cash back at the end of the year (which made the cost about the same, and as I knew Npower I was happy to continue with them)!…

I've called up their membership line who told me it's not them to complain to, they don't have a customer complaints department and have given me an email address to write to, but I'd rather do it over the phone as it's quite an urgent matter.
