Dual Fuel quotes more than Gas + Electricity separately

British Gas Confusion
Hi All I live in a shared flat and we paid our last bill by each paying in 1/3 of the total to the Online account number that British Gas sent us. However now they are saying that they are missing 1/3 of the bill. We are sure we have all paid and have tried to find out which payment has not gone through, but they are…

EnergySmart no longer working since switching provider?
We've just moved from British Gas to First Utility and our EnergySmart Meter has stopped working. From what I can remember there's no great technical intricacy with these gadgets, so is it simply a massive coincidence and the batteries ran out on the receiver or are these more intelligent than I thought and British Gas…

A big thank you to Martin
I saw Martin on TV a few weeks ago talking about changing to the last of the low cost fixed rate deals with Scottish Power. Managed to do it on the last day before it disappeared. Working it out I think we are going to save at least £300 over the next year.:money:

I know that this has been asked before but I couldn't find a definitive answer... Does anyone know how much more electricity is used (in a rough percentage ideally) from keeping the hot water immersion on 24 hours a day, as opposed to just switching it on every day for short periods? I work 9-5 now, and I have to have it…

They took over my supply on 1st October and I have heard not a thing from them since! I have voluntarily supplied two…

Energylinx Useless! Be warned
STAY AWAY from this merchant!! :mad: They failed to transfer the service but did not tell us until we phoned them to check, we received emails saying everything was going ahead.
