Co-op energy incorrect tariffs
Accidentally posted this in the wrong place Hi Thought I should post this. I changed to co-op energy last year on a single tariff (although I have night and day meters). They upgraded their systems earlier this year and it seems everyone who fell into the same category as myself had their existing tariffs reset and the…

NPower - my hair going grey
NPower are now the most useless company I have ever had to deal with. My online account is still not showing any Gas meter reading records and there is no record of my Direct debit being set up at my bank. I have had lots of reassuring emails from the NPower team and Executive Complaints team. If your are thinking of…

Gas main replacement - digging up drive
Just had a letter from National Grid to say they will be replacing the metal gas main in my street with plastic. All good, except that it goes on to say... "If the service pipe that supplies your property is metallic it will be necessary to replace it with a new plastic pipe AND WE MAY NEED TO DIG IN YOUR GARDEN OR…

Cheeky devils!!
Just received my electricity bill. It's the end of the year one, where they tell you how much you've used over the last 12 months, and how that usage compares to the previous 12 months. It then says how much they want to change the monthly payments, if at all. This is how it pans out. 12 months ago, they estimated I would…

Help with Baxi Back Boiler part name please
Hi, I saw a few helpful threads here, but a couple I could have revived and added to were closed hence a new thread. Apologies if it's a bit vague, but I've only got second hand information from a relative. A relative has had their Baxi Bermuda serviced. It seems for a few years the BG staff that have serviced it have been…

No bill from nPower for last 15 months
Title is what it says...my fault for joining nPower, simply the worst company I have ever dealt with in my 50+ years on this earth! I joined nPower in January 2013 for dual fuel. I have religiously phoned in my meter readings every couple of months as well as inputting them online at the same time. The readings are…

Scottish Power still haven't given me my warm home discount!
Afternoon one and all...forgive any etiquette mistakes...I'm a newbie. I am beginning to think I may need to stand outside the headquarters of Scottish Power to receive the £135 discount due at end of March. My experience has been so far... Applied twice as customer service couldn't find first. Second app was in January.…

Solar Panels
Ok so from what started as a wacky idea between myself and a friend - enthusiasm towards the idea of looking into solar/wind investment suddenly got pretty serious after doing a little research. Firstly it seems for the time being, as far as my situation is concerned, home wind-energy is out of the equation (not enough…

Outrageous lies from Scottish Power
I switched to Scottish Power "Online Energy Saver 21" for both Gas and Electricity around 10 months ago. I was sent an email by Scottish Power with subject "ACTION REQUIRED - Your current energy tariff ends on 31st May 2014" so I started looking into changing tariff. The email says if I do not switch before 31st May 2014 I…

NEST - who's had it installed?
Hi, I'm starting to see the email on NEST come through, some from a well known DIY chain too. Has anyone got this installed? I was looking at a heating control system for our home as part of a renovation and NEST looks interesting. Mainly for what I imagine they can do with it in future. However, it doesn't look very fluid…

All electric flat - immersion water timers
Hi Guys, I have been searching everywhere for a answer but find conflicting answers everywhere. I have just moved into a 1 bed flat, which is electric only so I have to use a immersion timer for my hot water. I have a single rate meter so no economy 7.

Thermostat not working?
Hello, I have recently moved in to a rental house that is very poorly insulated. The thermostat for the gas central heating is in the living room next to the door to the kitchen (where there is no radiator so it is very cold in there). When the heating is on, the thermostat always thinks it is no warmer than 12 degrees…

Change to Scottish Power...
I opted for SP as my EDF Blue runs out at the end of the month. I do have to say that I never had a problem with EDF and would have gladly stayed with them if the deal had been right. SP customer service is very good and the ringback system is absolutely great. No more waiting in a queue for an hour. My only complaint…
