British Gas tell me I'm not paying enough ... but using a fraction of their forecast
Bought a house in May, so for the first time I'm responsible for the gas and electric supply. Inherited British Gas so decided to stick with them until the first bill. I'm paying £77 a month by direct debit for dual fuel - split 33 electric / 44 gas. It's just me in a 2 bedroom semi, so this seemed a bit high to me. Just…

EDF energy: instead of revising a bill, they pass it to debt collection
Hi, I switched energy supplier in April, and the final bill from EDF energy was completely wrong (£60 over expected amount). I called them and they said I should pay it anyway, and then get a refund from my new supplier. Obviously, I didn't do that, as I am not going to pay a former supplier more than I owe. After pushing…

Have the top fixes been nerfed yet?
Right, so coming here to check the reputability of various car insurers (and so glad I did - ended up renewing with Direct Line for just as much I would have with the eminently dodgy Octagon, but with a better policy and company), saw the sidebar and was reminded I need to refresh my Gas + Electric tariff... And, oh no,…

OWL + Monitor or British Gas Monitor
I am going to be joining the fixed price promise tariff for dual fuel by British Gas tomorrow and I know they will install a smart meter for me. Just thinking - Will there's be sufficient or should I still purchase an Owl+ or equivalent?

Hi all, I saw a thread on heatmiser wifi thermostats but there are also Max! ones and Honeywell ones as well... Has anyone got any experience with them at all? I'm thinking of a Honeywell one?

my friends and I have just started renting a 3 bed house and we're new to the world of bills-not-included. However, we think our bill from npower for our first month is a little steep...

Do you guys switch off your wireless router if out during the day?
As per title - we tend to just leave ours on all the time, but does anyone turn theirs off when they're not at home? I would also ask about the Sky+ box, but I understand it doesn't record stuff when switched off so will leave that for now :) Just curious really!

Cancellation charge from Sainsburys Energy
I recently changed energy supplier from Scottish Power to Sainsburys energy using an online comparison tool. All was proceeding well until a few weeks ago I received an unsolicited call from Scottish Power asking if they could provide a better deal. After some discussion, the Scottish Power caller came up with a deal which…

Charging phone via a usb
Hi, Does anyone know if it is cheaper to charge your phone/tablet/kindle via the USB port on a PC/laptop? I'm not sure if it uses energy already in the PC or whether it uses the same as it would have charging via the mains. I know you can charge a mobile from a laptop battery but obviously this drains some of the power…

EDF have put my parents in debt!
My parents received a bill the other day for £1300 for outstanding electric ! This amounts to nearly the whole years bill. After a direct debt agreement had been arranged for some unknown reason somebody in the EDF accounts department took it upon themselves to reduce the payments from £150 pm to £1 pm for two months and…

EDF Energy
This is just a warning to everyone who uses EDF Energy. We recently received a letter advising that our Blue+Promise contract would end in September. We chose to fix again for the next twelve months and did this on line in July. I have just checked my bill to find they started charging the new rate immediately and…

Point-of-use water heating
We have got oil-fired central heating, and water-heating to 4 bath-rooms and kitchen. However, even in the winter we seldom use any central heating at all, and, now that the family have grown up and moved away, for weeks and weeks we need only 1 bathroom. We are therefore considering point-of-use water heating, and should…
