E.On discounts
My FixOnline 7 tariff with E.On will end on May 1st. They are proposing putting me onto their EnergyOnline tarrif if I do nothing. Based on my actual 2010 usage, this will increase my cost by 26% and is a variable rate tariff. I don't think so! I like the capped tariffs and one of the cheapest according to uSwitch is one…

First Utility Standing Charge/Unit Rate Price Hike
I have a duel fuel account with First Utility on tariff iSave v6. I received a letter from First Utility on Saturday 9th April (letter dated 1st April!!) announcing updates to their prices. The unit rate for electricity has risen from 11.160 to 12.495 and the unit rate for gas from 2.271 to 3.135 which I suspect is broadly…

My registered gas meter runs to another apartment!
I moved into a small one bedroom flat, in a block of three in November 2009. The gas meters are outside, and the one with 'my' serial number has a pipe linking to the flat opposite mine. There is another meter which runs a pipe into my flat, which doesn't seem to be using a lot of gas (and I don't!). Anyway, I need…

Are the switching site accurate?
Hi, I have a query about the switching websites. I am currently on an online dual fuel tariff with EDF paid by monthly DD. I have been to the 4 main switching sites but they all give a different amount of savings ranging from minus £47 (which isn’t a saving if I’m reading it right), to £173, though they all recommend…

E.ON SaveOnline 2 vs 6
I'm currently on E.ON SaveOnline 2 (expires 31 August 2011). Their website offers the option to switch to various different tarifs, including SaveOnline 6 which appears to be cheaper (see quoted prices below). The only apparent slight drawbacks seem to be that a contract cancellation fee of £30 may apply if I leave before…

Started to switch then cancelled but..
Hi All, First post, sorry it's asking for advice rather than helping someone out! I started to switch from my current provider Eon earlier in the year to Scottish Power as I thought I would be given a better deal (used uSwitch).

Free Solar Panels?
I've seen lots of advertising recently for companies offering free solar panels. It seems like a good idea, considering we have a south facing roof and live right on the south coast (so plenty of sunshine :o )! My understanding is that the company will install and maintain the panels, but will take any income from the Feed…

Gas consumption estimating
I'm attempting to find out whether my gas consumption is realistic, and what I should expect to use/pay. I have a two room flat with a 4-bar gas fire and a two-burner gas cooker. I use the cooker for 15-30 minutes a day, and I tend to keep the fire on at its lowest setting, which is a fraction of one bar. The flat is on a…

First Utility have offered to install a smart meter in my flat. If I agree does this tie me in to staying with them as my gas and electricity provider? I did ask them but the answer was it depends on your new provider....
