We are in the process of identifying which gas and electricity supplier we should switch to. We were in a fixed contract that has come to an end and nPower has put us on the standard tariff which is expensive. We used the comparison sites listed in this website and it all comes up with the same 2 deals at the top. Gas -…

Economy 10, smart meters, and useless suppliers!
I've built a retirement home in the north of Scotland, and although I had to pay over £2,000 to have my electricity main put in, I had difficulty getting a meter fitted. It took three months of arguing because my chosen supplier, nPower, said they couldn't supply electricity there. Long story short... Scottish Hydro…

utility warehouse debt/legal fee ??
I live in a rented flat and the current supplier is utility warehouse for gas (prepayment meter) and electricity (monthly bill) for the first few months I paid as the bill came in, by card over the phone, and then they wrote to me and said I would have to pay £100 deposit if I wanted to continue doing this or alternatively…

Eon prepayment meter minimum top-up?
I have a prepayment electricity key meter in my flat and usually top-up with a tenner a time. As my budget is being really stretched this month, and I don't really want to hit the "emergency credit" button, is there a minimum top-up amount that will get me to payday? Can I top-up by say £3, or is there a minimum. Can't…

Wet underfloor heating - E10 or not?
Hello all, Can anybody tell me if there is evidence to say if a wet underfloor heating system should or should not be used on an Economy 10 tariff? Most of the suppliers seem to say yes but other people say its more efficient if its on all the time as its just ticking over which sounds like sense to me. If its on E10 its…

I just wondered if anyone knows what the average gas consumption should be for the months of Dec-Jan-Feb for a 4 bedroomed house (though it might be classed as 5 as we have an office too?) I can find average annual useage for a year but I don't know how the percentages of this figure are split over the year. Can anyone…

Edf standard variable
I was on online saver 7 by edf which finished in december so am now on their standard tariff. Now the only options are fixed tariffs until 2013 and 2014. On comparison websites the cheapest ones are also fixed. Is it better to stay on the standard tariff as the rate will probably get cut in the summer? I'm surprised there…

If I fix now, will I get the recent price cuts?
I've not switched for a while, thinking I was on the best deal (it was at the last time I checked). Procrastination is the thief of money... Having just done a comparison I should be able to save 237 quid a year by switching to npower! :eek: However, if I switch to a fixed tariff now, before their 5% gas price cut on 1st…

Hi All, I renewed Ovo on 29th December on their "New Fixed Energy" deal as I am more than happy with their service and the savings I'd have made by going elsewhere are minimal. However, I have discovered that they cut the price of this tariff only 6 working days later. Do I go back to Ovo and ask to be put on the cheaper…
