Advice required regarding a huge bill from E-on
Hi, I live in a small 2 bedroom flat. From 8-6 during the weekdays, it is empty. I have a storage heater system that is on for 2 hours during the evening. Apart from that, electricity usage is minimal and I don't have gas in the flat. After a meter reading, I received a bill from E-on for £850. It's physically impossible…

Help N Power are driving me crazy.
N Power fitted a new Ampy Single Phase Digital Electricity Meter in 2009. For two years it was relatively okay - they read the meter and I gave meter readings using the zeros at the front (at their request) and they asked for the first five digits including any zeros. In August 2011 Scottish Power took us over (without my…

New boiler uses more gas than 16 yrs old boiler.
We had an A rated Worcester combi boiler installed in September, replacing 16 yr old combi boiler. The first gas bill shows we used 88% more gas compared to last year. The Boiler now has been checked by engineer twice by different person and appears to be working OK. So they say maybe the meter is wrong. The Scottish power…

Hi all, My first post - and yes I know I should search a bit for answers already out there but I really am in a rush for this.

Cheaper Gas and Electricity
So, the primary units of many gas and electricity tariffs are twice as expensive as the secondary ones, also a utility company has the right to read a meter every two years. Therefore does it follow that if I give a meter reading that estimates two years usage in one quarter, pay the bill, then give a zero reading for the…

Just came home and noticed our electric meter box outside the house was open, and there was a black box in it...a quick google makes me think it is the sender unit for an E-on energy monitor. We have no idea where it's come from or anything...we are not with eon, never have been. We've not ordered an energy monitor. It's a…

Strange Electricity Usage
Hi, I got a Onzo wireless electriity usage monitor a week ago. It is one of the types which just clamps around the mains wire under the meter. I installed it (as it was plain simple) and it seemed to work fine until today morning when I noticed something strange. So yesterday night, before going to sleep, it was showing…

Silent calls from Scottish Power
I've had three silent calls today from Scottish Power. They aren't allowed to do more than one a day apparently. It's extraordinarily annoying and if they think it's a good way of getting me back as a customer they are sadly mistaken. I am going to report them. Edit: reported.

Comparison sites say different results for same supplier
Perhaps I'm being thick, but I've just put my details into Uswitch, Energy Helpline and Money Supermarket. Slightly bamboozled but the possible options, I noticed they all had Sainsburys as a supplier; with the same plan. What I then noticed was the differing 'savings' and feel slightly cheated by this. Ignoring that I…

However nothing has changed except that we replaced our AEG washing machine for the equivalent model in January this one claimed to have a better energy…
