I'm not sure whether we should change to a normal tariff however, as we only use between 25-30% of our electricity during the night. And this is after we've made a concerted effort to put the washer, dryer and dishwasher on during…

Gas suppliers and IGT's

Rang the emergency line to see if that was normal around a meter - it isn't - and an engineer was round right away. Unfortunately it was the meter that was leaking, and he couldn't replace it as it was of a different type they…

New Meter exchanged for a recon unit
As part of the National Grids meter exchange programme my new digital meter was removed and replaced by an older reconditioned unit. I was told I had two options, replace or have my gas tuned off. This seems to be an insane state of affairs and one that National Grid refuse to talk about. This is so far removed from saving…

Utility Benifits
I've been helping my mum look at her finances and the prospect of her getting a new more efficient boiler installed for free. I'm a little unsure if she qualifies, she earns less than the stated amount (£15860) but she isn't getting any child tax credits. Does she need to meet both or just the wage one? Thanks
