Difficult to estimating winter gas bill now got woodburner
We've had a woodburning stove installed so it's impossible for me to estimate how much gas we might use this year. We're currently with nPower. I did a comparison before installing the woodburner and with the tariff we were on there was really no difference had we swapped back then. We'll now be using a lot less gas but…

Why Am I Using So Much?
Yes another one of these threads ;-) Just need to moan really! What with all the price increases going on (16% for me (based on usage) if I read the letter correctly) I thought I should maybe look into my usage. Probably somewhat more organised than most. I have a spreadsheet. I have Electric reads going back to 2003 and…

Message from eon about changing tesco clubcard points
Ive just received an email from EON telling me they have simplified their tariffs down to five options, and that these new tariffs come with new benefits to do with how you want your tesco clubcard points in future.

Mse energy statement not 100% true?
i know that they do a great job but this is an extract from their latest newsletter. i have highlighted in bold the bottom statement is incorrect, those with scottish power on energy saver online 20, (note this IS NOT a fixed tarriff) are NOT effected by this latest increase, so i guess its kind of misleading and maybe…

Average usage?

Two reasons why I stay with same supplier..please prove me wrong.
I'm currently with British Gas for both gas and electric and have received my letter about energy increases. The reason why I stop with British Gas is that I like the fact I can give monthly readings and pay for exactly what I use (do all energy suppliers provide this service)? Also, the other main reason is that I can't…

Energy prices.... consumers need to get a grip.
http://www.energy.eu/ I will admit to do work for one of the big six, but not in an energy dept.
