New home, new gas
Hi All, We've got a short window to move into a new home, which currently doesn't have any gas supply. We like our showers in the morning so we've opted to avoid using the immersion heater for this. What would be a better choice for boiler, combi or conventional? I think British Gas quoted about £200 extra for the combi…

Phone call from comparison site
Hey, may I pick your brains, please? I've been rung up by a utilities comparison site. (I didn't catch the name.) It told me that, for gas, I should switch form British gas standard tariff to Scottish power.

I recall from these boards that one of the suppliers does not give a DD discount on the final bill. I've tried to search for which one this is but have not been able to find it. Do Scottish Power give a DD discount on…

Eon-threatened to ditch them, then they lower our bill
Got our duel utility bill from Eon this morning, they were going to hike our duel bill up by £40 a month! Phoned them up to tell them we were off to compare prices.

switch dilema
with all the talk of rising gas/electricity, I have looked at our current situation. We are on the BG websaver 10 which has a 6% saving on the standard tariff which is guaranteed until 28 April 2012. We are tied into this until 12 Feb and if we change tariff or supplier before then we will incur a £60 penalty. Does anyone…

British Gas Energy Smart - Installation?
Sorry if this has been answered here already, I had a look in this forum and could only find questions about taking readings once it was set up. How does this work?
