Website - costs per diem for household devices
Being a bit/lot of a geek, I was interested in ascertaining approximate cost per use/per day of household appliances when I stumbled across this interesting website (seems to be the right place, given it concerns energy use): I can't post a direct link, but it's called "Confused About Energy", so if you google that plus…

List of all current gas/electric tariffs per kwh
I wish that there was an ongoing list of all companies and their tariffs per Kwh so that we could all compare easily and know instantly which is the cheapest. Does such a list exist? I am thinking of switching from Eon to Ovo for gas and electricity due to a price comparison website or two, but I want to be absolutely sure…

Incorrectly billed - now they want it all back!
I am in need of some advice from people in the know. Its a long story really. We have been gas and elec customers of one of the big companies for a long time. We have always paid by standing order, no issues really, money came in, quarterly bill went out. Until just over a year ago. We have continued to get the bill,…

Scottish Power - Nonsense Letter re Online Discount Withdrawal
Scottish Power are sending out letters to customers on their Online Energy system stating that online discounts are to be withdrawn. This is apparently due to them not holding a valid e mail address. I have held a valid e mail address on this account since it was switched. I have also accessed the system regularly using it…

BG increasing direct debit but in credit
Just got latest bill from BG and they are putting up my DD. Nothing strange in that - they will be doing to that everyone I guess. Thing is I reckon it's very cynical. I am a dual fuel on line account customer. I pay £27 a month for gas and they now want £45 - thats plus 75% To make matters worse I am £135 in credit! I had…

Scottish Power - misleading email
As a customer of SP I've received an email saying when my fixed deal ends on Wednesday they will automatically move me to the Capped Price deal that ends in January 2014. The email is misleading as it says there are no cancellation charges which implies I could move at any time free of charge. The terms and conditions say…

Any one installed Solar Panels
does anyone have any experience of installing solar panels in their home? This is something we are considering and was wondering what the average costs would be and how much you really save and potentially earn from the "feed in" tariff which i think is when any unused energy goes back into the grid:o Also any absolute…

charging phones etc. on computer
I have various phones and wireless headsets that I have discovered can all be charged using USB ports on my computer, which is on for most of the day. I was given a set of plugs and sockets allowing this. I was wondering if the computer will use more electricity charging my equipment than if I was just to use my available…

Cancellation Fees
I'm on E.oN's Save Online v4 and am thinking of switching before their imminent price rise. However, there is a £30 cancellation fee if I cancel my contract and switch from Save Online v4 prior to 15th January 2012. Does any one know whether I will have to pay this cancellation charge, bearing in mind the Ofgem ruling that…

EDF is currently our supplier for gas and electric.

In June of this year I called edf to find out the status of our…

Gas charging
I was always under the impression that the whole of the UK paid the same rate for gas, depending on what company you're with. For example, a Scottish Power customer in Glasgow would pay the same as one in London. However, when I was comparing tariffs with different energy companies, I noticed that Scottish Power charge…

Stupid utilities switching question
OK, I'm a bit of a novice when it comes to these things, so please be gentle with me. We switched suppliers to Scottish Power when we moved into this house 4 years ago, and haven't switched since. Our bills are frankly ridiculous, with a household of 2 people spending £100 a month on gas and electricity. We do run the…

I had a brand new meter put in (changed from pre-pay to normal meter) so was obviously set to zero. My gas usage has been extremely high and I have queried it a few…

New gas connection - changed quote after we paid
Hi there, We've recently bought our house which is old and therefore doesn't have a gas connection. We called National Grid for a quote to bring gas to the property and they quoted us around £650. We then asked British Gas for a quote and they quoted us around £80. We were pleasantly surprised and called up to accept the…
