Huge gas bills and defective gas meter
We have been concerned about our gas meter readings for the last year and after much badgering our supplier agreed to replace the meter and send the old one away for testing. We have now had a letter from a contractor of the National Measurement Office with a certificate to say that the meter was found to be so defective…
OVO - No credit refund
I would just like to warn people who switch from OVO that don't expect when your account is closed any credit remaining will be paid back to your bank account. Also their normal 3% interest on credits do not apply when switched. Apparently it is not their policy to payback your money, I can see why as they gain financially…
EON Central Heating Cover T&Cs
I signed up for EON Central Heating Cover including Electrics, and plumbing. I have had a few issues with the cover, and needed to claim a few times for the boiler. Each time I have claimed EON have sent someone around whos sole purpose in life was to identify a reason the fault is not covered and inform me that there will…
British Gas RSE charge
Hi all I know this doesn't necessarily affect anyone on here (think it only applies to businesses) but I couldn't find anything via Google and wanted to vent my spleen at what appears a major rip-off! I work for a small charity and like other businesses we have to pay a climate change levy (CCL)-a tax on the energy we use.…
Energyhelpline switch puts me out of pocket !
Having read all the advice about fixed tariffs this winter I used Energyhelpine to get 'estimates' and chose Scottish Electricity based on the 'savings of £112 p.a.' compared to my previous tariff with Southern Electric. I provided my energy consumption for both fuels for the previous year based on Economy 7 in the case of…
How does switching ACTUALLY work in the backend?
Hi all, I was just wondering today about switching electricity suppliers and was thinking of how does it physically work in the backend. Does someone actually change power connections at the backend to my new supplier or something else happens?
Can I switch providers?
Hi all. I'm really new to this so I apologize in advance. I've just moved into a house as a renter. Our first gas and electric bills came and they are OUTRAGEOUS. Gas: £193 Electric £140 This is for 27 Oct - 2 Dec (so approximately 5 weeks) We did not budget to pay this much for energy when we moved in so we are now…
Coop energy refer a friend url
Not sure if this is the right forum to ask but my deal with npower finishes at the end of January and the comparison websites are showing Coop as the cheapest one to switch to based on my use. I see on the Coop website that you can refer a friend by sending someone a unique url from your online account and both parties…

EDF Blue June 2014 vs March 2015
Hi, does anyone think it would make sense to change from EDF Blue June 2014 to EDF Blue March 2015? They are both fixed price tariffs, however the March 2015 has higher prices. The details are (London prices, inc VAT, standard meter prices): Edf Blue June 2014 Exit fee £0 Electricity daily standing charge £ 0.1890…
Quiet (ceramic) fan heater
I want to buy a new fan heater and wondered what people think about the CERAMIC ones - De Longhi, Prem-I-Air, Bionaire. I have had many of those traditional flat fan heaters but want something a bit smarter and with handles on top so it is easier to move around. I would prefer one that doesn't oscillate as it is something…
Sound right to you?
Just had to do some meter readings. I'm with Scottish Power on their Online Fixed August 2013 plan ans it's showing my charges on the forecast summary as £1267.07 and a new balance of £315.13 making it £1613.13 which seems stupidly high to me? I'm currently paying a direct debit of £134.40 per month. Is this currently so…
