Heating Help (Lack of)
I'm pretty sure there is nothing out there as I have been looking into this this year and the past two winters. I have no heating and no way to afford getting any.

Hi, I have just done a comparison of my gas and electricity via the uswitch web site and my current energy supplier, npower, is coming out top with a saving of almost £300, if I switch to another one of their tariffs (Energy Online January 2014).

Duo heater - question re controls
Forgive me if this is a stupid question. Have just moved into a new flat with Dimplex Duo Heat. I have had storage heaters before but not Duo Heat ones. I found the on-line instructions which say "in order for the radiator to operate effectively BOTH electricity supplies must be left switched on at all times". So if I turn…

transco charges
I am a scottish power customer. Recent price rises have prompted me into looking onto switching but I not sure how to compare like with like as none of the switch sites include the transco charge.

Should British Gas have allowed me to change suppliers?

When I switched, I had outstanding bills for both accounts. The electric one was quite small so I paid this in full immediately, but the gas account was for over £300…

Energy Switching prices are misleading
So like the rest of you I am hunting for better prices on my gas and electricity. Shame I didn't get an edf fixed, note to self take note of what you read on Moneysaving expert.

Simple list of tariffs
Where can I find gas and electricity prices in simple (kWh)? Every comparison site seems to make you go through hoops to find a single plan and then you finally find out what the actual tariffs are. I just want the price/kWh
