Central heating wont come on
I think it is a compatibility problem between the "receiver" (ie the box under the boiler) and the "thermostat" ie the box on the wall where I set the temperature I want the house to be). Is there any way I can over ride the "thermostat" and just turn the heating on manually (so I can keep warm today and get an engineer…

G & E usage
If my gas boiler is on to heat hot water, would I use any more energy if I put the central heating on at the same time? My supplier has told me that I won't but I should welcome other views and perhaps even a definitive answer.

Single rate electricity on multi-rate meter
Ok this is mostly weird in my mind, but I've happily had BG and e-on as my energy suppliers for the last couple of years, with a 'normal' electricity tariff. I switched to EDF, all the correspondence looks fine - but after gaining access to my online account with them it looks like they've just put me on Economy 7 without…

British gas - wrong bills, right result!!
A couple of important points about energy companies to use against them: # The big 6 have all signed up to a Code of Practice which says they have a duty to provide accurate, regular and easy to read bills # There is a Back Billing code which says that no energy provider can charge a customer for gas or electricity used…

Gas hob?
Hiya, I have an electric hob and oven under. My question is with gas being so much cheaper would it be mse to change the electric hob for a gas one in the future ( as money allows?) keeping the electric oven. In the kitchen there is a small radiator fueled by gas boiler. No gas pipes for a hob or oven. A gas hob would also…

Can I use gas supply to generate electricity?
I just received my annual statements and noticed that electricity is about three timees as dear as gas. It may sound daft, but if there was a way to generate electricity directly from my gas supply, I could perhaps make quite a big saving? Obviously, your gas pipes are not to be tampered with, but has anyone had a…

The government said that tariffs are to complex and that there are to many tariffs which confuse the consumer. In response BG and SSE have reduced tariff offerings and now offer less discounted tariffs. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-15804530 I wonder if people really do campaign for all customers be treated equally…

I am moving house (renting). I have looked on a comparison website and found that I can get a better deal on electricity from a different supplier and get £30 cashback for doing so (the property doesn't have gas). (1) Would I be better off telling my current supplier that I'm moving home, let them do the switchover and…

Central Heating Thermostat
My central heating is constantly on despite the thermostat being set to 10 degrees. I have managed to cool the house down by turning a switch on the boiler to 0. Rather than get an engineer out I want to change the thermostat first, but I have never changed one before. Is it advisable to try this myself? My current…
