Installing new meters - any cost to me?
Hello all, I am keen to move my gas and electric to First Utility to save money. They will install Smart Meters as standard to replace my old style meters, which I think has a lot of benefits. However I am concerned about what would need to happen if I changed my provider again moving from First Utility in the future. They…

Why does it take soo long to switch?
I was on EDF OS7 which was due to run out on 31/12 and revert to the standard tariff :eek: Did a uswitch comparison and went for EON (saveonline 11) back on 10th December. Emailed EDF on the same day to ask for the tariff to be maintained till the switch was complete and finally got a reply from them today (4 weeks later)…

Supplier and tariff for RHT meter
Hi all. I've just moved into an all-electric 1970s built flat which I have discovered has an RHT meter. This meter only supplies the hot water immersion which we will hardly ever use, and also two storage heaters which are both in bedrooms so not exactly ideal. We have other heaters in other rooms which don't seem to be on…

EoN - Plan Renewal and DD charges
MY EoN Save Online 4 tariff finishes on 15 Jan. EoN have notified me that they will switch me to their Energy Online tariff which appears will cost me approx £120 more. Having gone onto Uswitch EoN have their Save Online 11 tariff which will save me £17. Why do they not offer the best deal? Is this blatant opportunism on…

Hiya All, I have just moved into a rental property. Both the gas and electric are on prepayment meters with southern electric.

Direct debit increase 2012
I have had direct debits with Southern Electric for over two years and suddenly they have taken double from my account for gas. I said they cannot take my money without my permission. They said it was notified to me on an online bill to my email - I did not get this. I am threatening to leave as they said they would refund…

Wet Electric
We went to see a 1 bedroom (but big) flat tonight and were informed there was no gas, but it was wet electric. I've had a quick look but can't find anything definitive on it. Our monthly budget for electric is £80 (we use £55 in our current place and it's tiny. We use a 2kw convector heater if anything at all). So any info…

meter going backwards!
Hello! Am new so please be gentle and apologies if this has been asked before. I am a private tenant and on the day I moved in (seven months ago) gave EDF our meter reading. I had no bill and did the same again in September where it had gone up by 1100 units. I still received no bill despite phoning and asking for one. In…

Warning - Get your address correct!
I've just discovered the Electricity switch I made to NPower was cancelled as the National Grid has different set of addresses to the Post Office. They effectively make their own up when they install a meter. Fine if you live at a single dwelling but if you have something a bit different like Top Flat or Back Entrance,…

EON Contract Cancellation Fee
My contract with EON for their SaveOnline 4 runs out on 15 January and I don't want to go with their Energy Online plan which will work out more expensive than some of their other plans. Apparently there is a £30 cancellation fee, but will this still apply if I'm still staying with them, just changing plans? I can't find…

To switch or to beg!

I moved house in August of last year and continued with BG for the supply of both Electricity and Gas for the property. It was my intention to switch soon after moving...but I found out that BG did the free loft insulation and so I…

Student halls - gas coming in through window from boiler flue below!
Hi there.... I must live in one of the worst rooms in my particular student accommodation. I am situated next to a kitchen that happens to have a very noisy boiler (flue sounds like a hair dryer), which is only half the problem as my main concern is the smell of gas from the boiler flue from the kitchen below ours. I know…
