SSE 9% Increase - AND THE REST!
How many SSE customers have checked their ACTUAL electricity unit price increase from 15th October? I'll bet it's not 9% as I know one tariff has gone up over 16%. It would be interesting to know if other tariffs have increased in excess of 9% (depends on your distribution area as well).

Electricity DD too high... thoughts?
Hello Forum, Straight off the bat I want to make it clear that this is NOT a moan-at-a-utility-supplier post. A few months ago when our deal with nPower ended, (spit), a search threw up a new (to me) company called OVO. I decided to switch to them even though I knew nothing about them. I did, however, do a fair amount of…

Dicky economy 7 time switch for 15+ years
It transpires I've had a faulty changeover switch for many years. So Eon had it changed. The meter reader who spotted it told me I'd be entitled to compensation. Initially Eon denied it had been a historical problem, claimed it was just that time and they owed me nothing. But when I asked them look back at their records,…

I had an old kettle (the type that has an exposed coil) and wondered if it was cheaper to boil water for a coffee/tea on the gas hob. I then bought a modern kettle (internal hot plate type) later on because the original…

I'm currently paying by monthly direct debit for gas and electricity from EDF energy. £90 for gas and £51 for electricity.
