EDF Fixed 2016 Rate
I would like to ask the panel of their opinion of gas and electricity price rises over the next 3 years. The EDF fixed til 2016 will be better than their standard rate if prices increase about 27% over 3 years (on my usage). And their Fixed 2014 is £100 better for a year, but then prices may negate the savings after the…

To Frack, or Not To Frack...?
I was thinking, as I was listening to a news item about fracking on the radio this morning, about whether or not the fracking process was actually worth the potential environmental implications... And would it really have that much of an impact on fuel prices for the average householder? I'm no soap-dodging protester, nor…

Very high electric bill
This is the first time that I have lived in property that is all electric including the water and heating. I expected the bill to high but not as high is it was. During the couple of months of living in the property we had the heating on full for about 18 hours a day as Scottish power switches off the heating to the boiler…

NPower Again!!!
After making the massive mistake of switching to NPower,whose motto should be "If we can !!!! it up we will !!!! it up",I not only saw sense but got in quick enough to stop the Direct Debits that would have me going down the well-worn,"6 months to get my own money back" thing so beloved of so many before they actually got…

To heat or not to heat, that is the question
OK, my conservatory is the standard, double glazed, Perspex roof. There is a radiator that runs from the main combi boiler. The conservatory is freezing in winter so it doesn't get used much. We have tended to leave the radiator on and it runs on a timer along with the rest of the radiators, usually from early morning…

EDF energy

It all began after Xmas this year, when I received a huge bill for around £700, even though I had been making regular payments by direct debit. I cancelled the DD because the bill stated that they were going to…

Preposterous standing charges!
Hi all. Newbie here. Apparently Ofgem are being blamed for this- but my supplier has begun the Standing Charge racket on my gas bill, saying Ofgem "want to make things clearer". My flat is average size, I don't use the heating much these days; now my minimal gas account has now had a whacking 47p per day added. Not much on…

Switched to ISupply Energy - and they've taken £70 UP-FRONT! What are my rights?
Hi, I just used Uswitch to switch to ISupply Energy as they had the cheapest tariff. I just gave my opening meter read today, and checked my bank account as I do every day, and they've taken £70 up-front, before I've even used a single KW!
