Hot Water Help!
I'm hoping there's someone rather clever out there who can work this out for me. We have an LPG boiler (no mains gas in our area) - the heating works but the hot water died last year. The plumber has replaced one of the main boards which got the heating working again but thinks he needs to replace the other one to get the…

British Gas unfinished installation work
I was wondering whether someone could advise me on an issue I have with British Gas. At Christmas in 2006 (Boxing Day) we had a new boiler system put in by British Gas and they left two things unfinished - an air vent (which should have been bricked up) and a fuse box (which should have been removed). As it was at…

Switching energy supplier: British Gas being deliberately obstructive?
I've just switched my gas and electricity from BG to Npower. It was worth me making the switch because of a cashback deal from NPower. But, in the process of switching both the gas and the electricity, BG raised some kind of objection which meant it couldn't go through. I've got a feeling they did this 2 or 3 times, even…

Changing supplier again shortly after doing so...
My letting agent is trying to force me to use Spark Energy who appear to be pretty useless. The supply has just been switched to them from Scottish Power (unknown to me - I was told that all tenants with the agent I'm with use Spark, and don't have a choice in the matter) If I were to get the agent to agree to it, could I…

Help! I've been sent a huge final bill.. even though I left them 17 months ago
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I've received a 'final bill' from Spark Energy for several hundred pounds even though I left them in the spring of 2010!
