Join the Cheap Energy Club?
A good idea, but! What and how does it deal with dealing with certain energy companies (FIRST UTILITY for one) that continue to charge your direct debit the monthly fee after you have moved onto the new supplier! They also continue to ignore you even after numerous letters and phone calls. I was not an isolated incident,…

Cheap Energy Club
Am I right in thinking that the Club handles the switch to a cheaper provider? If so I can find no reference on the site asking whether we are also a generator (Say solar panels) and whether this part of the contract with the current utility is also transferred by the Club to the cheaper provider at the same time.…

Independant Gas Transporters (IGT)
I live in a new build and am currently with EON they dont charge a fee for IGT (probably included in the tarrif) some other suppliers do. Does the energy club include IGT? It is not as straight forward to switch due to IGT charges. Can anyone help?

Worcester boiler won't repressurise
Hi I've got a Worcester boiler which started getting a bit temperamental as the pressure gauge had dropped right down to the bottom. I had a plumber come out and he replaced a few parts but it hasn't solved the problem. After repressurising the boiler, the pressure would drop right back to zero again with 24hrs. At the…

EnergyHelpline: Check Numbers
I was comparing energy tariffs on energyhelpline and the numbers it gave for how much I could save were rather wrong (they said I could save about £400, when based on my own calculations it would cost about £100 more). I have contacted them about this and am currently awaiting a reply. I would advise people to double check…

Gas heating versus Electric heating systems
Hi, I know this topic has probably come up before, though I couldn't see a thread that asked the same questions. The fact is I know it is cheaper to heat with gas than electric. This is my issue... I am a landlord (an excellent one I promise, my Council says so :A) and I have a couple of large houses on gas central…

How can estimated price be lower if unit price is higher
Good afternoon, I have moved into a flat which has Electricity with EDF and Gas with BG, both on standard. I have gone to comparison sites, and both EDF and BF websites to get quotes on dual fuel. EDF's Fixed Blue Promise June 2014 has higher unit rates, but their estimated monthly price is lower than BG. British Gas…

Changing from Key to Direct Debit
I checked the FAQ but didn't see anything about switching from key electric to direct debit. Which is what I want to do because I heard, and believe it's cheaper. I did a compare the market search. We moved in and the flat (2 bedroom) had a electric key with NPower, the landlords didn't even know the previous tenant had it…

Just changed to Scottish power and found Economy 7 meter faulty
Hi I just changed from EDF to Scottish Power dual fuel fixed till 2014. I had to give a meter reading for EDF and then about a fortnight later do it again for Scottish power. That was when I realised that the night rate on my economy 7 meter had stopped working and that it was permanently on day rate. I mentioned this to…

Hi All, Just a small item to say that I have been with the Co-operative energy for a year now and am over the moon at my low fuel bills.I do recommend them if you are looking to switch. They have reduced their electricity prices recently and can give the big boys a run for their money:j:j:j

Help please with switching!
Hi, I wondered if someone could help. I have been with Eon for years on a prepayment meter for both gas and electric. I am currently paying on (on average) £100 for gas and £60 for electric per month, which I feel is a bit excessive. (Also my boiler is at least 30 years old and I haven't had hot water for 2 years, it was…

We are currently with N Power for both gas and electric. I took a reading the other day for both and posted the results on the NPower website. I've gone to the log in page and it is now saying the account is in credit by £425.00CR (it was previously £300) Am I right in presuming that figure is the amount we have paid…

Nuclear power - The whole truth?
I see post after post, debate after debate where renewables are slaughtered for having to be subsidised due to their high costs and low efficiency compared to nuclear. In this nuclear debate has the total cost of building power stations and dealing with the waste been factored in though? I have just seen that the clean up…
