Only 2 Tariffs?!
Well it's good news that things MIGHT get a LITTLE simpler. Two tariffs (1 x fixed and 1 x variable) from each supplier will make price comparison much easier. But whats to bet that they will still make life not so easy by advertising their 'easier to understand' tariffs but then say that they will give a small discount…

switch to gas central heating?
Hello, hope someone can help. I bought my first flat in March. It's a one bed in Aberdeen and only has electricity supplied; it has a storage heater in the living room and electric panel heaters in the bedroom and kitchen. I know there is gas in the area as neighbouring properties have installed GCH. I would love to…

Halogen lights, tumble driers & electric heaters
My tight, disgusting & soon to be ex husband has been paying very few & very limited house bills when he's felt like it around his busy social life, gifts & holidays with his mistress. We've been without oil for about 4 months with him refusing to pay it so the house was running on electricity. Without heating we've been…

Energy companies annoy me because....
They always seem to be saying that there is no choice but to put the prices up because etc etc... Not only have they got domestic customers but just imagine all the supermarkets, shops, businesses etc they have as customers. They are raking in MILLIONS upon MILLIONS. I find it very hard to feel sorry for them. It is bloody…

Spark Energy Problem
Hi, Just wondering if someone with a bit more knowledge could help me out here. A friend of mine moved into a small flat above a shop in Dec 2008. He gave an actual gas and electricity reading to Spark Energy when he moved in but since then every bill has been an estimate. His meter readings are all over the place and he…

Are energy bills just a big scam?
Let's be honest I'm sure they could heat our homes from free these daysL I'm a big fan of David icke and I believe what he says is true when he says these sort of companies Re controlled by the new world order/illuminati. Not just oil companies, but drug companies, banks etc, does anyone agree? To me if I feel I'm being…

Npower owe me - but want more money before refunding
Just checked my bills online, and Npower overcharged me by £130 last time, and my new bill of £146 as just arrived - and that £100 over (estimated). No problem, i thought - i will give them correct readings as DD not due out until 8 december. They tell me they cannot ammend the bill until 12th January - so i still have to…

Many meters, one property
Hi, My house used to be 4 flats, today it is one house. Having 4 meters is sometimes useful - an old NPower tariff reduced the bill by £40 for EACH meter if you also took their boiler breakdown cover. AND that deal is expiring. Does anyone know of either a) the best electricity deal for low usage - typically £40 a year b)…

Getting bullied off eon
Hi guys, I recently moved into a new place, when I first got the keys I'd go around to do a bit of decorating and whilst there some guy from eon called round with a £300 bill, obviously I told him it's not mine then he came in and read the meter, I regret letting him in, anyway apparently there was a call out fee for him,…

Gas and electricity bill is £357 per month!
I just called up Eon to give them my meter readings and they told me our gas and electricity bill was going to be £357 a month. I'm in a 4 bed house - a listed builing with single glazing. There are 4 adults living here. We don't think we use excessive gas and electricity. The heating has been on this past month for about…

EDF and Meter readers
Looks like my meters have been read again yesterday by external readers. I only switched to EDF in July and they apparently read the gas meter in August which triggered the infamous bill/DD recalculation!! Nothing appearing on MyAccount yet - in the experience of longer serving (or should that be suffering!) EDF customers…

Wind Farms

C) Here's my point..reference wind farms can someone tell me how much we are all paying by way of a hidden subsidy to build these wildly proliferating next to useless windmills?

Solar Panels Suggestion
Using Solar Panels to heat your hot water storage tank with its immersion heater is not generally a good idea because a less than 4kw panel system rarely has the nessacary 3kw required by the standard fitted immersion heater. So you would be paying for any shortfall at 11p a unit (British Gas Price) instead of your normal…

supplier has been undercharging now wants it all back
Hi, my supplier has been working out my gas bill in M3 metric cubed formula. They have now asked me to check my meter and it says on it FT3 which means feet cubed. This will roughly translate as an extra charge of whatever my gas bill is times 2.83. It works out over the two years I've been with them as about 500-600 quid.…
